Recreate-68- Democrats to Face Protests in Denver At Democratic

Bay Area Indymedia

It remains to be seen whether the Democrats will ultimately take their fight for a Presidential candidate all the way to the Democratic National Convention this August in Denver, but for many activists tired of the two-party system and the ongoing war, they will be demonstrating at the convention, regardless of who the final nominee is. We speak with Mark Cohen, an organizer with Recreate '68, and Mark Silverstein, the Legal Director of the ACLU in Colorado.

Denver will play host to the Democratic National Convention this August and preparations are well underway for the big event. It remains to be seen whether the Democrats will ultimately take their fight for a Presidential candidate all the way to the convention. But for many activists tired of the two-party system and the ongoing war, they will be demonstrating at the convention, regardless of who the final nominee is.

As Denver readies to sign contracts with dozens of security agencies ahead of the convention, we look at some of the concerns around the rights of the protesters and how lawyers and activists are preparing to protect demonstrators.

Mark Silverstein is the Legal Director of the ACLU in Colorado. He joins us now on the phone. We�re also joined here in the Denver studio by Mark Cohen. He is an organizer with Recreate 68, a group of activists attempting to greet this year"s Democratic National Convention with the same demands of accountability and ending the war that animated protesters in Chicago 40 years ago.
