An organizer of last year’s Unite the Right rally has received initial approval to host a “white civil rights rally” across from the White House on the weekend of Aug. 11 and 12, the one-year anniversary of the white supremacist gathering in Charlottesville that left one counterprotester dead and at least 19 people injured.
The National Park Service has granted initial approval to an application from Jason Kessler for the rally, but it has yet to issue a permit. Kessler, who helped organize the 2017 demonstration with Richard Spencer and others, estimated in his application for the event that as many as 400 people would attend.
The planned August demonstration would be held at Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C., which is located directly across the street from Pennsylvania Avenue. Kessler also applied to hold a second rally in Charlottesville on Aug. 12, but the city denied his application over safety concerns, among other reasons. Kessler is suing the city to allow him to have his rally there. If Kessler is successful, he plans to hold rallies in both D.C. and Charlottesville.
