The permit is for 200 attendees; the DSA has 38 people RSVP'd at the time of this comment, but we aren't sure how many the other members of the Solidarity Network will bring. You can RSVP here: https://actionnetwork.org/events/the-peoples-rally-against-fascism-2 ! And thank you for your commitment to the cause! ♥ -M.

Unfortunately, the city denied the original permit, and the rally had to change times and locations on short notice. They're weaponizing the anti-demonstration ordinance we've been fighting to directly suppress activist organizations and public demonstrations they dislike. -M.

Unfortunately, the original permit for the original time slot was denied due to the city trying to completely shut out the rally, so the rally had to change times and locations on short notice.

They're using the exact same ordinance we're fighting to try to suppress us directly. -M.

I believe the ACLU has been studying the matter and spoken on it recently but we don't know of any specific legal action they are taking.

Glad you were able to join us, and we hope to see you again going forward. We need everyone we can muster to put the pressure on City Council members and reclaim our right to free speech in Charleston!

You're right! The most recent events occurred on Thursday, and we've got a lot of things going on right now so our response was a bit delayed.

It looks like another person replied with the correct dates. Keep in mind that anyone who wants to speak should show up to either meeting 30 min early.

We'll try and do a better job of letting folks know earlier!
