Of the applications submitted for demonstration permits, two groups will be allowed to host events on park service grounds within the security perimeter of unscalable fencing and National Guard troops, Mr. Reinbold said.
Permits were granted to DC Action Lab, which plans to protest the inauguration, and the ANSWER Coalition, an antiwar group dedicated to saving the environment, according to WJLA-TV.
“My understanding is … they are groups that are in D.C. quite a bit [that] have expressed First Amendment activities quite frequently throughout the District,” Mr. Reinbold said.
The park service superintendent did not specify which rally will be held where, but he said one will take place at U.S. Navy Memorial Plaza and the other at John Marshall Park. Both will be allowed up to 100 attendees.

Some of Mr. Trump’s strongest supporters and former aides were frustrated that Mr. Trump’s campaign to fight the results after the Electoral College certified Mr. Biden’s win on Dec. 14 squandered an opportunity to focus on the achievements of his four years. They now worry that the president’s connection with the deadly storming of the Capitol by some of his followers on Jan. 6 will forever overshadow his accomplishments.
President Trump ordered an end to the ban on travelers from Europe and Brazil to the United States, a move that was quickly rejected by aides to President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.
