PHILADELPHIA – Over five hundred activists have pledged to risk arrest by engaging in nonviolent mass civil disobedience at the Democratic National Convention here in Philadelphia between Monday and Thursday, according to Kai Newkirk, mission director for the Democracy Spring activist group.
During an in-person interview outside the Pennsylvania Convention Center in downtown Philadelphia, Newkirk revealed that, besides street protests, activists from his group will attempt to infiltrate and disrupt this week’s DNC events from the inside.
Democracy Spring claims it is a movement attempting to “end the corruption of big money in politics and guarantee the right to vote for all Americans.”

Best Election EVER!
"Get your popcorn, hot buttered popcorn, it's going fast!"
I plan on staging a sit in. From the comfort of my couch. You can join me.
Which "Americans" don't have a right to vote?
It’s a reference to the fact that even when Sanders got more votes he still lost. Trump is right with his “it’s rigged meme.”
Industrial size popcorn.
The Democrat Party fully supports the rights of dead people and imaginary people to vote for Democrats.
I’ll just send my Great Dane. He’d love to crawl into your lap and sleep with you. After all, at a mere 115 lb., he’s not much more than a tea cup love puppy. If not, Salamander might want to loan you a comfort python.
Why, illegal immigrant "Americans", of course!
What's your address?
WoW! You people are the Best!
Except when I said “join me” I meant from the comfort of your own couch.
And your offer(s) would have to be vetted first. Or at least have like a shot record or something. And my wife would not think too highly of me for sleeping with a snake...
Oh yeah. I moved. I am across the street from my old address.
This shows that the frigging commies are good for something (I always thought that at best they were useless).
Why, illegal immigrant "Americans", of course!
And of course murderers, rapists, robbers, and all sorts of miscreants in the Dem's big prison demographic support group. But, Kaine is working to change all of that and bring them into the fold.
They have more rights than you do.
Ok help me understand.
The commies are protesting...it is the commie party...it is their convention. What and why are they protesting?
I guess they have no jobs, they have no running water to shower, they have weed, they have student loans for their philosophy degrees...I guess I’d protest in those circumstances... oh man imagine their portapotties when this is over...
No, I would not protest...it rhetorical.
Useful, but still idiots.
Actions
A group of Democracy Spring participants began a ten-day march from Philadelphia to Washington, DC,[5] on April 2, 2016. According to the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC), rallies and events have been scheduled at the United States Capitol through the weekend in an effort to "draw attention to our corrupt campaign finance system and rigged voting laws."[2] The initial events received wide coverage on social media, and on outlets like NPR and CSPAN, but cable news networks devoted little time to the protests.
The protest began with a rally and participants included progressive political commentator Cenk Uygur, actress Rosario Dawson, educator and activist Lawrence Lessig, filmmaker Annabel Park, Ben & Jerry's founders, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, and "many attendees sporting Bernie Sanders clothing and signs." Demonstrators slept in local churches and at a tent set up near Union Station with a permit

We should all be ashamed of ourselves. We’ve taken a,perfectly respectable political thread and TURNED IT OVER TO THE DOGS! Disgraceful.
