Bodies Outside of Unjust Laws" Coalition Protest Outside of Democrat's Convention
In the run up to this year’s Democratic convention, some outlets predicted that Chicago may have a repeat of the 1968 Democratic convention where police rioted and beat protesters.
While some media outlets feared student and activist outrage over the Gaza genocide would lead to a chaotic protest situation similar to the anger created by the Johnson/Humphrey administration conduct of the Vietnam war in 1968 it didn't. Protests against the war on the Palestinians occurred last week, they weren’t well covered by the mainstream media. Joining us to discuss last week’s protests is Andy Thayer of the Gay Liberation Network. He was co-organizer of the "Bodies Outside of Unjust Laws" coalition's March. In addition he attended most of the other protests last week. For more information go to: www.chicagoactivismhub.org
