Wednesday, July 16 -11:00AM: THE REPUBLICANS ARE COMING! PART II - Passive
or Aggressive?
KFAI Radio, 90.3 Minneapolis /106.7 St. Paul / <email obscured>
A CivicMedia/Minnesota production
The Republican National Convention (RNC) has been on our local agenda for a
couple of years and dozens of groups and agencies have been preparing to
accommodate the 115,000-120,000 conventioneers, media hounds, protesters,
lawyers/legal observers and police personnel will descend on St. Paul's Xcel
Center September 1st for four days of the chaotic crowning of the party's
Presidential nominee, confronted by protests and potential clashes of all
kinds and a series of counter-convention activities at various locations
through the Twin Cities.
Which protest and communications strategies are the most effective and wise?
TTT's ANDY DRISCOLL brings into the KFAI studios representatives of the wide
diversity of organizations of varying agendas for the coming visitors and
query them on their strategies and planned tactics for participating in what
many consider will be a circus they'd rather not be around for. We talk with
convention organizers, arts, peace and protest leaders, law enforcement and
just plain folks over several show to clarify for listeners what we can
expect to see on the news each night.
