Re-create 68 protesters and other activists plan to file suit against the city of Denver and the Denver police department for violating their constitutional rights during the Democratic National Convention.

Anti-war protesters at Monday's Re-create 68 rally produced a spectacle of orange and white peace flags, but the dozens of legal observers present kept their eyes on the less-colorful police. Volunteers with the People's Law Project, a group defending the rights of protesters, accompanied activists as they marched from the Colorado State Capitol to the Pepsi Center. Sporting bright green baseball caps, the legal observers shot photos of police and took notes on their interactions with the protesters; the information may be used in the case of a lawsuit.

The most dynamic part of Denver's Democratic National Convention next week may occur outside the Pepsi Center. The major protest group Re-create 68 announced its schedule of events this afternoon, and it's a doozy of a lineup. More than 50 speakers and musicians will round out logistical trainings for the activists.
