BrownTown talks all things DNC aftermath with US Palestinian
Community Network (USPCN) organizers Nesreen Hasan and Nadiah
Alyafia. The new friends breakdown DNC week from the formal mass
March on DNC protests, autonomous disruptions, anti-war/genocide
political education programming, to the convention spectacle
itself and what it meant (or didn't mean) for Chicago on the
national scale. Originally recorded September 7, 2024.
