Outside Madison Square Garden, protests are continuing today for a fifth day in a row. The A31 Coalition has called for a day of direct action against the Republican National Convention. Meanwhile The War Resisters League, Voices in the Wilderness and other activist groups are planning to stage a die-in in front of Madison Square Garden tonight. On Monday more than 15,000 marched in a protest organized by the Still We Rise coalition. Thousands also rallied in the Poor People’s March for Economic Human Rights. Police arrested about 20 protesters in protests yesterday bringing the total to around 600 over the past five days. The National Lawyers Guild yesterday accused the city of preventing jailed protesters from seeing lawyers and they charged the arrested protesters were being held in poor conditions.
