@heidilifeldman Funny how some people who don’t pay the money they already owe are still allowed to hold events.

@heidilifeldman @waltwooton This is an important issue to raise. It’s concerning when local governments make it harder for people to protest, especially on issues as important as this. The idea that cities are charging such high fees for protests definitely seems to limit free speech. How do you think communities can push back on these barriers?

@heidilifeldman So that's what they mean when they say "freedom isn't free"!

@heidilifeldman I have an idea - protest anyway. Why are 'we' asking permission from any city, state or federal government agency to protest? Isn't that the definition of civil disobedience? Isn't one of the tenets behind protest to disrupt the status quo? Good grief.

@heidilifeldman
The city's illegal demands have made for excellent publicity for the event itself, at least 😁

@heidilifeldman I mean MAGA had to pay for all those Jan 6 rally permits and exclusive US Capital building tour fees to cover police overtime, insurance, and expenses so… yeah.

I think the saying goes: Freedom ain’t free.

Remain in your designated free-speech zone or face indefinite detention for acts of terrorism against the all powerful commander in chief.

Capitalism FTW.

@heidilifeldman

question: can they stop people from "spontaneously" congregating and then protesting?
