PHILADELPHIA -- Supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders are planning a fart-in this week in Philadelphia, in an act of protest aimed the Democratic establishment assembled here for this week's Democratic National Convention.

The event is scheduled for Thursday, Day Four of the convention and the day in which Hillary Clinton will formally accept her party's nomination for president. Supporters of Clinton's one-time rival, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, are planning the act of protest, which involves the mass consumption of beans and intentional flatulence meant to coincide with her coronation.

The event is also meant to protest the party's policy platform and primary process, which many Sanders supporters feel was rigged by party elites.

The fart-in is scheduled for both inside the Wells Fargo Center and outside on the street, with at least some Sanders delegates planning to participate inside the convention hall, and supporters planning to participate outside as well.

Organizers include Cheri Honkala of the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign, who has been stockpiling tins of beans sent to the organization's Philadelphia headquarters by supporters, the AP reports.

Earlier this month, USA Today reported:

Organizers have not tested varieties to discern the smelliest option, but Honkala says baked beans likely will be preferred and paired with hot dogs at a feeding location in a "Clintonville" camp in northern Philadelphia.

"It's a whimsical way of raising a protest," Dr. Walter H. Tsou, Philly's former health commissioner and a supporter of Sanders, told NBC news.

"There's a lot of things that stink about this whole democratic primary process."
