The March on the DNC and the Poor People's Army criticizes Chicago's restrictions on protest tools, calling it a free speech attack.
Chicago officials are under fire after their last-minute restrictions on the Democratic National Convention protests, calling the limits on sound equipment and other essential tools a direct attack on free speech rights.The City of Chicago informed organizers of the pro-Palestinian rights group the Coalition while they are permitted to assemble and march with the tens of thousands expected to protest next week, the city has limited their ability to communicate their message about ending U.S.
Chicago has defended the restrictions by citing safety concerns and the need to manage multiple groups seeking to protest during the DNC. However, Coalition leaders reject this explanation, stating the permit process already defines specific times and spaces for each group's activities.'When you're at a protest – there's beauty in it, there's community in it, there's amazing messaging,' the March on DNC said.
