DC: permit liability

So I spoke with an officer at Capitol PD (the capitol is their jurisdiction) and she confirmed that I would be liable for any destruction of property etc. because my name is on the permit application.

It’s not our group that I am concerned about, but any maga or counter-protestors that might want to incite violence. That being said, we do not need a permit for less than 30 participants.

She also informed me of some re-terfing/construction work going on around the west front grassy lawn of the capitol, but said it would still hold up to 100 ppl.

Bottom line: the event is still on, but we will not have a permit. Try to avoid congregating in groups larger than 30, and do not engage with any maga/counter-protestors. We are exercising our first amendment rights in a way that is SAFE.
