The demonstration will start at 12 noon, July 18, in Mall A, located at Mall Drive and St. Clair Ave in downtown Cleveland. Marchers will proceed to Cleveland Public Square, and will then, marching on streets and sidewalks, head to the vicinity of the Republican National Convention.
Today’s agreement came at a meeting with City officials, where Coalition organizers were appealing a City decision to deny permits for the July 18 protest at the RNC. When the understanding was reached, organizers of the ‘Stop Trump’ protest withdrew their appeal.
Tom Burke, of the Coalition to Stop Trump and March on the RNC states, “We have every right to protest at the RNC. The City has been dragging its feet and we are looking forward to using Mall A in downtown Cleveland as a place to rally. We will take our message to Trump and the Republicans.”
Mick Kelly, also of the Coalition, stated, “We are grateful to all the people who called Mayor Jackson and put pressure on the City government. The whole world is going to see that we reject the bigot Trump and his attacks on immigrants and Muslims.”
About 40 organizations are backing the large protest organized the Coalition to Stop Trump and March on the RNC that will take place on July 18, the first day of the Republican National Convention. The protest will put forward the slogans, “Dump Trump, Say No to the Republican Agenda. Stand Against Racist, Anti-immigrant and Anti-Muslim Attacks. We Demand Peace, Justice and Equality.”

Burke states, “People are coming from around the U.S. to protest Trump, the RNC and their racist, reactionary agenda. It is the time for the City of Cleveland to stop putting up roadblocks to this protest, and grant decent permits that allow for a rally and a march to site of the RNC.”
Mick Kelly, a spokesperson for the Coalition states, “This protest is going to happen. We want permits, but we are prepared to rally and march without them. We have no intention of wandering around unheard and unseen on the bridge to nowhere.”

Here's the info on the march we'll be going to in Cleveland: https://www.facebook.com/
March on the Republican National Convention July 18
Dump Trump,
Say No to the Republican Agenda,
Stand Against Racist, Anti-Immigrant, and Anti-Muslim Attacks,
We Demand Peace, Justice and Equality.
Activists from around the country will be converging on Cleveland, OH, July 18, the opening day of the Republican National Convention. Inside the convention hall, Republicans will promote their agenda of bigotry, racist discrimination, Islamophobia, war, and austerity. On the streets of Cleveland, we will demand Peace, Justice and Equality!
The organizers of this protest organized the mass marches that drew thousands at the 2008 RNC in St. Paul, MN and the 2012 RNC in Tampa, FL. Many of us have been active in organizing the anti Trump protests that have been taking place across the U.S. The eyes of the world will be on the Cleveland RNC and we are eager to cooperate with other protest initiatives. The rally site, time, and march route will be announced as soon as possible.
Join us! Help make history July 18 in Cleveland, Ohio.
