And in New York, two groups filed suit yesterday to gain access for a mass demonstration on the great lawn of Central Park just before the Republican National Convention in New York City. The National Council of Arab Americans and the ANSWER Coalition are being represented by the National Lawyer’s Guild in their bid to reverse the city’s refusal to grant access to the lawn for a protest on Aug. 28. Meanwhile the group United For Peace and Justice has also announced plans to sue the city over denying them a permit for an Aug. 29 protest in the city.”
