Jason Kessler, organizer of last year’s white supremacist Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville, has applied for permits to hold another rally this year in Washington, D.C. It will reportedly be held on August 11 and/or 12 at Lafayette Square.

The National Park Service has approved the application for the “white civil rights” rally, according to WUSA-9. It is meant to coincide with the one-year anniversary of last year’s rally in Charlottesville, where a counter-protester was run over and killed and two police officers died in a helicopter accident. The permit has not been issued yet.

“We are gathering information from the organizers on the details of the event that will be used to create the permit,” NPS spokesman Mike Litterst told DCist via email.

According to the event website, Kessler is also planning a rally that weekend in Charlottesville in Emancipation Park (formerly Lee Park). Under “rules,” the website reads: “If there is a problem with the permit or safety [in Charlottesville], including police stand down, out alternate location will be Lafayette Park at Washington D.C. in front of the White House. This location is 2 hours distance from Charlottesville.”

The site elaborates that protesters should come prepared to demonstrate in two rallies on August 12. It’s unclear if there will also be a rally on August 11.

Kessler’s application to the National Park Service says “Antifa affiliated groups” will try to disrupt the rally. He estimates that 400 people will come to the rally in D.C.

Last year’s demonstration featured a group of men carrying tiki torches on the University of Virginia campus and chanting racist and anti-Semitic slogans like “Jew will not replace us.” Police allege that One Unite the Right participant drove his car into a crowd of counter protesters, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer. He is currently awaiting trial on a charge of first-degree murder.

Thousands of Washingtonians attended a vigil last year in memory of Heyer and in protest of the white nationalist gathering.
