Action 2: TOMORROW - Blue Thursday Political Happy Hour
Is the city ready for the Democratic convention and the protesters it will bring to Chicago? The ACLU doesn’t think so, and recently filed a suit claiming the city has failed to create a clear, transparent plan to accommodate marches and rallies. We’ll discuss with Liza Roberson-Young, senior supervising policy counsel at the ACLU; and Leslie Fox, executive director of the last Chicago Dem convention in 1996.
