Where are the limits on our rights to assemble and protest?

Where are the limits on our rights to assemble and protest in a democracy? On the next Your Call, we'll talk about what we need to know about our rights to protest. The recent crackdown on the Occupy Oakland demonstration leaves us with many questions--namely, what are the limits on our rights to dissent? What do we expect or hope from our cities in response to mass protests? Join us at 10 or email feedback@yourcallradio.org. What's your reaction to the recent Occupy crackdowns? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar, and you.
