At least three pro-Trump rallies are planned for Freedom Park in DC this Saturday. There’s just one possible hitch: None of them appear to have filed the paperwork for a permit.
No groups with the name “Million MAGA March,” “Stop the Steal,” or “March for Trump” have applied to host a rally at Freedom Park this weekend, says NPS spokesperson Mike Litterst. The only application the Park Service has received is for a “Freedom of speech rally” from an entity called “Cindy Chafian Women for America First.” The organization listed on the application has promoted the “March for Trump” on its Facebook page. We’ve called the organization to try to figure out whether they’re involved in the other events.
The application doesn’t sound like it’s for a huge event; it says organizers expect participants to display 50 signs or placards and plan to rally in Freedom Plaza, disperse, then rally again at the Supreme Court. In a section that asks whether organizers have any reason to believe their event might be disrupted, the applicants ticked “yes” and wrote “Possibly Antifa, BLM, or anyone who doesn’t Trump or his supporters.”
We don't need no STINKIN' permits!
We have the FIRST AMENDMENT
Just change the name to a PROTEST.
Well, it would be nice to know, as I had it all planned to be there.
No. You have the 2nd Amendment. Use it while you still can.
If it goes into Sunday, I am there. Got to work Sat.
We need a permit to assemble and petition? It’s called the Constitution of the United States of America.
Exactly.
I believe they will be there.
I would be there too if anyway possible.
A million people don’t need a permit.
The 2A protects the First.
Hopefully that will not be necessary...until next January...ideally longer.
Rahaum Emmanuel was laughing his a** off on national TV this week that using Covid would shut down Trumps rallies.
All President Trump has to do is say the word... and he’s within his rights and law to do so.
This is an insurrection. We will arm up and accept his leadership in any scenario.
Jus’ sayin’.
Did antifa/blm get permits this past summer?
No permits necessary for “peaceful protests”
The illegal liens didnt either years ago...
They just turned up and took over the streets of America...
The MAGA marchers have more right to those streets...
there are busloads of people coming from NY to DC Friday for the Saturday protest...
You really think DC will give these people permits??
Wear masks. And hats and cover the ears.
Not if they don't apply.
Ive only visited DC a couple of times so I had to look up Freedom Plaza. It doesnt look big enough to hold a large crowd.
Freedom Park is in Rosslyn, Va. near the Metro stop. Why are they having the march there? They should have it on the Mall, where one would think they wouldn’t need a permit.
