In advance of national security adviser John Bolton's keynote address at the Coast Guard Academy Class of 2019's graduation, a group of activists are planning a rally "to shed light on Bolton's nefarious legacy and dangerous policy stances."

The rally will be held on May 21 from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in New London. Participants are encouraged to bring signs.

Bolton, a former U.N. ambassador who was appointed to his current position on April 8, previously served as a senior fellow for the American Enterprise Institute, an attorney at Kirkland & Ellis, and a Fox News commentator.
