MILWAUKEE (AP) — Protests around the Republican National Convention in downtown Milwaukee have been peaceful and without any major problems. On the first day of the meeting Monday, the activists called attention to issues such as abortion rights, economic justice and the war in Gaza. The largest group is the Coalition to March on the RNC. The atmosphere was festive, with music playing over loud speakers, a man strumming a guitar and vendors selling T-shirts and buttons supporting both Republicans and Democrats. Activists carried signs that read, “Stand with Palestine,” “We Can No Longer Afford the Rich,” and “Defend and Expand Immigrant Rights.”
