It wouldn't be a political convention without protests.

Of the roughly 50,000 people gathered in Cleveland this week for the Republican National Convention, many are making their voices heard through demonstrations, marches, and rallies.

They represent a wide range of issues and perspectives — everyone from Patriotic Millionaires, who want taxes raised on the rich, to bikers who back Donald Trump, to the Codepink crew who dressed up as pink Lady Libertys while they marched.

Refinery29 is taking you inside the RNC — and the protests the four-day nominating convention sparked — with daily 360-degree videos you can watch in virtual reality. Ahead, those pieces.

Day One: July 18, 2016

Despite the crowds, things were calm.

You've already heard of the potential dangers at the Republican National Convention, but what was it actually like to be there as it kicked off? We're bringing you an immersive, 360-degree view of the thousand-people marches that marked the beginning of the political circus down in Cleveland. Ramped-up security — noticed in prominent swarms of police officers on bikes — proved impactful, following protestors on the parade route and into the public square. There, demonstrators from opposing sides came face-to-face (and megaphone-to-megaphone). Watch the rather peaceful start of the convention's protests and stay tuned for up-to-date footage from the ground.
