Five Moms for Liberty protesters were arrested Sunday morning for blocking traffic outside the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, and a sixth for waving a flag over a barricade set up outside the hotel, according to activists.
Philadelphia police said the six people were arrested on charges of failure to disperse, but did not provide further details. ACT UP Philadelphia, the AIDS activism group, provided photographs of five people, who were holding hands while standing in the middle of the intersection at 12th and Filbert Streets.
“They were chanting for Moms for Liberty to go home and blocking traffic,” said Aaron Bodiford, an activist with the group. He said police gave the activists three warnings before making the arrests, pulling their vans up in front of the barricades where the rest of the protesters were stationed.
Later Sunday, Bodiford said a trans woman was also arrested for waving a trans flag over the barricade set up around the Marriott.
The arrests came on the fourth and final day of the summit for the controversial “parental rights” group, which targets LGBTQ issues and diversity education and has drawn protests since its arrival in Philadelphia Thursday. The event, attended by 650 people from across the country, featured speeches from former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, among other Republican presidential contenders.

Same police that refused to arrest BLM for dispersing?
The I justice in this country is out of control.
We've got antifafa right where we want 'em.
The title is misleading. It was the wokesters who were arrested, not the Moms for Liberty.
Misleading headline? The squib seems to say that it was people OPPOSED to Moms for Liberty who got arrested.
Probably go into the courthouse across the street. get their paychecks and take the subway home.
Indeed.
I think you need to read the article more closely
I thought it was THE moms for Liberty that got arrested!!
Bad headline. It was people protesting AGAINST Moms for Liberty who got arrested.
Thanks for the clarification. Blocking traffic is something the Left does.
The title referred to the Moms for Liberty protesters who were arrested. Not the Moms for Liberty attendees.
I read it closely and my analysis is correct - I submit it’s you that have logic issues. Or morality ones.
Perhaps the most disturbing development was Robert Kennedy, Jr.’s decision not to speak to the Moms because he said they were against gays, which was incorrect and a deliberate distortion created by transgender Fascists. Apparently, he took the advice from an uninformed staffer who may have purposely misled him.
Bad headline. It was people protesting AGAINST Moms for Liberty who got arrested.
