78 activist organizations planning to protest at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago without permits, citing First Amendment rights.
Activists plan to protest at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this summer, with or without permits. The March on the DNC coalition, comprising 78 activist organizations, is preparing for fundraising, communications, and logistics in the lead-up to the event. Organizers cite First Amendment rights in a federal lawsuit filed last month, asserting their right to protest within "sight and sound" of the convention's center stage, despite the city's denial of permits closer to the convention site.
