on April 20th, people will be practicing their First Amendment rights by protesting outside of the Connecticut Convention Center at 100 Columbus Boulevard when Democrats converge for the Jefferson Jackson Bailey Dinner.
One press release on the planned action states:
The Democratic Party has managed to successfully ride the wave of opposition to the policies of the Bush administration. And yet, all they can offer us is a non-binding resolution to express their disapproval for an EXPANSION of this inhuman, deadly, unprovoked conflict. The monstrosity of Guantanamo Bay continues unchallenged; innocent civilians, citizen and undocumented alike, are still being indefinitely detained; and after four years they’re still telling us the troops will be pulled out “next year.”
Nancy Pelosi, will be the guest speaker at the dinner.
One of the planned protests involves a march from Bushnell Park to the convention center, beginning at 4:30 at the east side of the park. The action has been planned as a peaceful protest.
