Four pro-Bernie Sanders rallies, with estimated attendance of 38,000 activists, have been approved for public demonstrations during the Democratic National Convention in July, the city said Thursday.
The four rallies, given permits Wednesday night, bring the total to five for approved rallies and marches during what is expected to be a bustling week of political activity in Center City and South Philadelphia. The convention officially runs July 25-28, but two of the five approved rallies and marches of more than 7,000 activists will be held July 24 -- the day more than 4,000 delegates arrive from across the country.

The rally has been approved for five straight days, starting July 24 and ending July 28. The permit from the city also allows activists to gather each day from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The “public assemblage,” as the city technically describes demonstrations, could evolve from rally into protest depending on what happens during delegate voting inside the convention.

16. Not at FDR park it won't. It's in a South Philly neighborhood that won't tolerate foolishness.

The one m arch against fracking that is Center City is permitted very small.....Will be controlled by feds, too.

17. It's across from the Broad Street line, so good luck with that.

2. Oh Hell Yeah! Damn I wish I could be there. There is bound to be a demonstration

here in Seattle though. Seattle rocks when it comes to activism.

3. I'll be there. I'm coming up from VA to show my support.

It's going to be Yuuuuge.

5. Good on you!

4. Kicked and recommended, although I wouldn't be surprised

if strings get pulled to have these permits yanked.


Thanks for the thread, GeorgiaPeanuts.

6. Exciting political events could unfold. Kenney seems like a real pro-Millennial kind of mayor.

Let's hope there aren't provocateurs to turn the assemblies into the appearance of mob action that would pressure mayor Kenney to use a tough police presence.

I just hope that the DWS media machine doesn't opportunistically try to discredit Bernie supporters thereby. Just sayin.

10. Even if there's not, Hillary fans will catapult the propaganda and say there was violence

and rudeness and whatever...

12. Maybe they will but for her this will be ultra high ground time. Not that she will sway

Berners. It's the provocateur invasion into one of the rally holders, say, Berniebros (sp) or Bernie or Busters, that I'm worried about.

Who'd be paying for them I hate to think about. Or maybe we just have a traveling hooligan element in every election.

14. +1

18. Didn't you see the ruffled feathers over Nevada

Not one video or picture of any violence, yet they claim there was violence all day on the media circuit and from Brock's paid sock puppets.

7. And at least one has the intention of being disruptive at best and violent at worst. nt

[cui bono]

9. And based on evidence that would be a Hillary supporter or a Trump supporter. n/t

[cui bono]

8. Hm... I might have to go out there if I'm between jobs at that time...

11. Hoards of angry white men? How will people know they are at the correct convention? nt

[ancianita]

13. Funny and sadly true.

[msanthrope]

15. FDR park, mainly. Will be tightly controlled so it doesn't spill to South Philly. Nt
