Peace Groups Join Together at Daley's Office In Battle Over Civil Liberties

This Monday, anti-war protesters will step up their battle to secure the rights of free speech and public assembly on March 19, the second anniversary of the Iraq War. The March 19th Chicago Coalition will hold a press conference at Mayor Daley's office on Monday, February 7th at 11AM to announce their filing of a second permit application that addresses the City's objection to their first permit request, which the City argued 'zig-zaged too much.' Monday's permit application proposes instead that protesters be allowed to march straight down Michigan Avenue -- a route that does not 'zig-zag.' Protesters have rejected the City's efforts to force them instead to march straight south on Clark Street, a route with little foot traffic and public visibility that protesters argue is designed to isolate their message and undercut their constitutional rights to free speech and public assembly in this overwhelmingly anti-war city.

Please join us at 11:00 A.M. on Monday to show your support for peaceful assembly in opposition to the war and occupation of Iraq.
