New Hampshire Democratic state Representative Manny Espitia of Nashua was hit by a white nationalist group after he called out racist graffiti allegedly left by the group in the neighborhood where he was elected to represent.
On Friday, pictures were shared to social media showing racist graffiti on the Rail Trail in Nashua, including keep New England white and defend New England. Espitia and others blamed the graffiti on NSC-131, a self-described group of white nationalists. No person should ever be threatened because of race, ethnicity, nationality, or their identity. I will continue to fight against racism in our world. I won t stop because of Neo-Nazis. Let this be a reminder that #NHisnotInnocent and racism does exist in our state #NHPolitics, tweeted Espitia, who s also president of the New Hampshire Young Democrats.
Everyone’s life has been disrupted by the pandemic over the past year. According to a study by Fidelity Investments, nearly two-thirds of all Americans experienced a major life event such as a loss of a loved one or a job loss. During this time, very few people were thinking about long-term goals and financial planning. Thankfully, we can see a light at the end of the tunnel as social distancing restrictions are eased and things start getting back to normal.
Although it has been a difficult and sad year, we should come out of the crisis with greater financial wisdom and insight. Nothing influences us to prepare for emergencies and manage our finances better than a crisis.
