Understanding Protest Group Unconventional Denver
August 12th, 2008 Jim Banks
Jim Banks interviews members from the protest group Unconventional Denver, a key group in the upcoming DNC. They discuss recent demonstrations and protests organized by the group, specifically a request to Denver City Council to reinvest the $50 million budgeted for DNC security into community projects in exchange for the complete elimination of planned protests. They also discuss the intentions, ideas, goals and philosophy of this anarchist and anti-authoritarian based organization. Branching from the national group, Unconventional Action, Unconventional Denver sees grassroots democracy, communal control, civil disobedience, direct action and a disassembly of capitalism as the key to a better future.
