Joint Press Release Regarding Cleveland's Protest Restrictions:
The Republican National Committee deserves a safe space in which to select its nominee. The citizens of The United States equally deserve broad opportunities to lawfully use public space for peaceful demonstrations. Confining demonstrators to a short route area for a limited time period in the morning and early afternoon flies in the face of the 1st Amendment’s right to free speech and the right to assemble. Based on what has been presented at the press conference by the City of Cleveland on May 25, we find these extreme limitations vague and unacceptable. We look forward to working with the city to ensure peaceful protests and free speech are given space throughout the RNC. As we continue to review the detailed proposals, our organizations will release a further statement.
