Rapping Against Rahm: Protesting The Anti-Protester Ordinance

By Samantha Abernethy in News on Jan 16, 2012 9:30PM

The folks at Occupy Chicago say that Mayor Rahm Emanuel's plan for managing protesters for the NATO and G8 conference would spell out the end of the Occupy Chicago movement. That's why the group is planning to rally at City Hall tomorrow morning, Tuesday, Jan. 17. They're also encouraging people to call the mayor and their aldermen. The ordinance goes to a vote Wednesday.

Occupy Chicago partnered with a few people to create this video that quickly distills Emanuel's anti-protester ordinance. The piece "Rahmbo's Sit Down and Shut Up Protest Ordinances" is written and performed by rapper ProfessorD.us of Justus League Records, based out of Toronto. The video was produced by the Multikulti Art Collective.
