In New York, the city’s park department has rejected a permit requested by United for Peace and Justice to stage a large anti-war rally in Central Park during the Republican National Convention. The city claimed that the Central Park’s Great Lawn was not big enough for the 250,000 protesters. This marks the second time in just over a year the city has rejected a permit for an anti-war event organized by the United for Peace and Justice.
