"The First Amendment of the Constitution specifically protects the right of the people to peaceably assemble and to petition the government for the redress of grievances. Remember that if you choose to go out today. That is your constitutionally protected right. It is a time-honored and cherished American right, but some would argue that protest of unjust laws is in fact an obligation of citizenship."
"Velshi noted that Trump recently designated Antifa a terrorist organization and argued that making reference to it when criticizing the rallies a purposeful, political tactic. He told viewers it was not too late to join the protests themselves. The use of this term in describing people who are merely protesting his policies is not an accident, Velshi said. He's using the label to threaten the right of the people to peaceably assemble."

The First Amendment specifically protects the right to peaceably assemble and to petition the government for redress of grievances. Protest of unjust laws can be considered an obligation of citizenship. Top Republican leaders have labeled the protests a 'hate America' rally and have baselessly called participants pro-Hamas and tied them to Antifa. Antifa is leaderless and decentralized. Labeling protesters as Antifa or terrorists serves as a political tactic to intimidate and chill the constitutional right to assemble. Participants were told it is not too late to join the protests.
