Protesting The DNC In Chicago (w/ Andy Thayer)

Kevin Gosztola interviews Andy Thayer, a longtime grassroots activist and organizer in Chicago. He is part of a coalition called Bodies Outside of Unjust Laws that obtained a permit for the first protest that will take place on Sunday in opposition to the 2024 Democratic National Convention.
Andy discusses the formation of Bodies Outside of Unjust Laws and why the coalition is marching against the DNC. He also addresses the rich history of Chicago police attacking protesters and trampling on people's First Amendment rights.

And Andy highlights several additional demonstrations that will take place during the DNC and how the city, even under progressive Mayor Brandon Johnson, frustrated requests for march permits.
