Plaintiffs are a group of peaceful, law-abiding women who have held, and wish to continue to hold, silent vigils on public sidewalks in Baltimore City to protest war and promote peaceful, non-violent solutions. They are participants in Women in Black-Baltimore, a part of Women in Black, an international, multi-faith, multi- cultural, and multi-ethnic network of women who wear black as a symbol of mourning, carry signs of peace, and hold silent vigils because words cannot express the painful tragedy of war and violence. Plaintiffs wish only to secure their rights of free speech and expressive conduct protected by the First Amendment. 2. Because of the ongoing war in Iraq, plaintiffs have decided to hold a vigil every Friday at noon for the foreseeable future on the public sidewalks on McKeldin Square at the southeast corner of Pratt and Light Streets in the Inner Harbor in downtown Baltimore. Plaintiffs organized and participated in a silent vigil held there last Friday, April 4, 2003, which was prematurely shut down by Baltimore police officers acting pursuant to regulations of the Department of Recreation and Parks.
