Getting their message out: Protesters plan a variety of demonstrations

  • July 25, 2016
  • Flowers not fists.
    That's the tactic Susan Briton-Seyler plans to use during the Democratic National Convention, when both the temperature and tempers are expected to rise as thousands of protesters are anticipated to flood Philadelphia streets to bring attention to issues ranging from oppression, inequality, corruption, violence, climate change and the war on drugs.
    Briton-Seyler, 66, a Chester County resident and Quaker, is leading one of the many protest groups that plan to rally in support of former Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders. But her organization — Bernie Peacekeepers — will not count itself among the dozens planning negative and disruptive public demonstrations.
