The sequel we never asked for has arrived. Here are five things you should know about the Unite the Right 2 rally:

1. What is it?

Last August, multiple far-right, white nationalist and white supremacist groups descended upon Charlottesville, Virginia, for what organizers called the "Unite the Right" rally to protest against the removal of a Confederate statue honoring Gen. Robert E. Lee. The scores of protesters claimed white culture and heritage was under attack, and the Lee statue (and others like it) were symbols of "white genocide."

Unite the Right 2 is the second anniversary of the first rally. The overarching theme of preserving whiteness and white civil rights is still there. This time it will be in Washington D.C.

2. Who is organizing it?

Jason Kessler, 34, is a University of Virginia grad and organizer of both rallies. In a recent interview with The Washington Post, he calls himself a white civil rights leader. He has grown in popularity for his speeches preaching about white genocide and urging those on the far-right/alt-right to push back. There are also numerous lawsuits filed against him for last year's rally.

Back in 2008, Kessler, the far-right voice, voted for former President Barack Obama and three years later was active in the Occupy Wall Street movement. “I’ve been turned into an avatar of hate,” Kessler told The Washington Post in a telephone interview. “I’ve made some powerful enemies, and I’ve gotten involved in some things that I didn’t know I was getting involved in. I think the alt-right thinks I am a cuck and not extreme enough and [liberals] think I am a white supremacist. None are true.”

3. When/where is it taking place?

The rally is expected to take place at 5 p.m. ET in front of the White House. CNN estimates 100 to 400 people will gather at Washington's Foggy Bottom subway station and march to Lafayette Square Park.

4. Who else will be there?

Counter-protesters are estimated to outnumber the Unite the Right participants by the thousands. Reports claim 4,000 people from various left-leaning groups will be on hand combating the far-right groups. According to ABC 7 WJLA, Metro DC Democratic Socialists of America/DC United Against Hate, Black Lives Matter DC and New York, A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition & DC United Against Hate and Shut It Down DC are a few of the major organizations hosting counter-protests in the area.

5. Organizations plan to keep people safe.

This year's rally will not receive the same support as the first. Twitter has suspended prominent accounts connected to white nationalist groups like the Proud Boys. Major corporations like Uber, Lyft and Airbnb have come out against participants by encouraging drivers to deny rides if they feel uncomfortable, reports The Washington Post. Airbnb has threatened to ban hosts/users of the platform with connections to the rally.
