I was reading an old US Weekly magazine from 2004. It said that Rosario Dawson was arrested on August 29th in NYC for charges of "disorderly conduct and obstructing governmental administration". Apparently it said she was at an anti-Bush March and she put a bandanna over her face and refused to leave the scene. Apparenyly NYC Law doesn't allow groups of protesters to wear masks. But then her rep said, "Rosario was not protesting...but was performing a scene in a movie in which her character participates in a protest."
Does anyone know what this was about? Or did this occur while she was filming RENT, because there is a protest in it?

no...i believe this was before Rent, and this makes me love her!!! when her star was rising, she had the guts to protest against the president.

Right, but she was filming a movie? Doesn't really sound like she was protesting. I wonder what movie it was.

I remember reading about this when it first happened. It was a movie called "This Revolution" and the director, Stephen Marshall, was arrested as well.
