The city of Charlottesville, Virginia, has denied permits to five organizers who were planning events for the 11th and 12th of August 2018. The New York Times reported: “In denial letters obtained by the Daily Progress, a newspaper in Charlottesville, the city manager wrote that the events would ‘present a danger to public safety’ and ‘cannot be accommodated within a reasonable allocation of city funds and/or police resources.’”
The New York Times has also reported that the organizer for last year’s “Unite the Right” rally, Jason Kessler, tweeted to his followers that the “‘Communist government of Charlottesville’ had denied his application and vowed to sue ‘early next year.’”
