There will be a major protest on August 29th, but what about the rest of the convention? Will everyone be on 8th Ave near 31st?

(answer by jennyz77)
Answer to Question 1: There are no other protests, organized though United for Peace and Justice, planned because they were only able to get a permit for August 29th.
Answer to Question 2: I looked at the map on the United for Peace and Justice web site (http://www.unitedforpeace.org/article.php?id=2503), and the protest will be confined to 7th Avenue, and will streach up to 34th Street. It does not look like the protesters will be allowed past that point.
