Case Description

E.D.N.Y, Index No. cv-06-3252 (direct)

This case involves a town refusing to allow a group of people to carry posters during a parade because of the posters’ content.

In June 2006, the Village of Southampton, NY refused to allow a group of individuals to exhibit signs condemning the conflict in Iraq while they were marching in the July 4th parade. In response to the Village’s denial, the NYCLU brought suit on June 30, 2006.

As of June 2007, both parties agreed on the continuation of a preliminary injunction requiring the Village to allow people the right to carry protest signs while marching in the 2007 July 4th parade. The District Court has yet to decide the case.

Attorneys involved in this case include Arthur Eisenberg.
