[City efforts to evict] failed on a technicality and now occupants of the camp are determined to go ahead with a series of unauthorised marches and protests to herald the start of the convention.
"I don't believe in zoning free speech. That's censorship. If you are law abiding and peaceful than you should be able to address your government," said camp organiser Cheri Honkala, an anti-poverty campaigner and the Green Party's nominee for vice-president in the 2012 election.
Honkala is also the co-founder of the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign, which is the main driving force behind the encampment which was begun in May.
The group rented the lot, situated just outside an army-navy general store beside the main freeway exit into downtown Tampa, making it a certain sight to the thousands of Republicans and media pouring into the city each day.
