Progressives try to send a message of resistance through the RNC security barrier

6. Okay but the story is about a fight over moving the barrier closer.

Protesters lost that fight:

The Coalition to March on the RNC fought hard over the final route of the march, to ensure their chants would at least have a chance of being heard by RNC attendees, and sued the City of Milwaukee and the U.S. Secret Service over the security zone that would have pushed the protest too far away to be heard by RNC attendees.

Protest organizers lost that lawsuit, but reached a “handshake agreement” with the city to allow the march closer to the convention’s Fiserv Forum. But after all that, demonstrators say Republican delegates aren’t really the audience they need to reach.

It comes at the end of the article which is organized in reverse chronology so the first part wind up last. But the title is accurate.
