As many as 5,000 protestors are expected to descend on Tampa for the convention next week. The Coalition to March on the RNC held a press conference on Friday to talk about their planned march for Monday.
Attendance was small at the press conference, but few expect it to stay that way.
Joe Iosbaker is a spokesperson for the United National Anti-War Coalition. He says you can liken protestors to cars in traffic.
"You stand by the side of the road and a few cars go by," says Iosbaker. "But it gets to be 3:30pm or 4:00pm and rush hour hits."
Rush hour starts this Sunday afternoon with a march on the RNC Kickoff Party in downtown St. Petersburg. Here's a map of parking restrictions for that event.
The rush continues Monday morning with a big march through downtown Tampa. The planned route begins outside of the restricted zone, and makes its way to the sanctioned protest zone outside the Tampa Bay Times Forum.
