This is a UFPJ event, so not revolutionary at all, but I thought the content/reason for the protest was interesting, in case any of you are interested and in NYC:
----
Defend our Right to Protest!
Rally at NYPD Public Hearing
Monday, Nov. 27, 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
NYPD Headquarters, One Police Plaza
In August, 2006, the New York Police Department proposed new regulations that would have seriously limited how people could assemble without a permit. New Yorkers and City Council members responded loudly and the NYPD quietly cancelled the public hearing and withdrew the proposal.
Commissioner Ray Kelly has again proposed undue and constitutionally questionable limits on political speech in New York City. This proposal would prohibit public gatherings of as few as ten people who do not first apply for and obtain a permit from the police.
In an attempt to minimize public input the hearing is being held on the Monday after Thanksgiving in the middle of the workday. We urge you to attend this important hearing if you are able - the NYPD needs to see again that we will strongly defend our right to protest!
