A controversial, self-described free speech rally is set to go forward on Boston Common Saturday. The city issued a permit for the event on Wednesday afternoon.
According to a statement from Mayor Marty Walsh, the Boston Free Speech Coalition met with police Wednesday morning “to work on a safe pathway forward and agreed to specific stipulations” for the rally.
