Coalition to March on the RNC Going to Federal Court Today
May 16th, 2008 | by Crash the Conventions |The city has been dragging its feet issuing permits for protests at the Republican National Convention. As a result, The Coalition to March on the RNC and Stop the War is heading to federal court today to secure a permit for the mass march on September 1.
This permit is important because many national groups are waiting to be able to tell their members the march will be permitted, which will lead to a maximum number of convention-crashers in downtown St. Paul that day.
The Coalition has been asking its member to pressure on Twin Cities media and decision-makers in the days leading up to today’s court case.
