From the NYCLU Webiste: All New Yorkers deserve a voice. We all have the fundamental right to speak out and engage in political protest.
The First Amendment of the United States Constitution and Article I, Section 8 of the New York State Constitution protect your right to assemble peacefully and express your views through protest. While the government has a duty to respect, facilitate, and protect your right to protest, it may place certain narrow and reasonable restrictions on the time, place, and manner of the exercise of free speech rights to protect the safety and rights of others –– for example, requiring protesters to walk with the flow of traffic if marching in the streets.
