As you know, I have been closely following the calls for Palestinian liberation and the protest movements in Chicago, New York, and Washington, D.C..

After a disruption at a Downers Grove, IL town hall hosted by Rep Sean Casten, I interviewed Nick Sous, one of the local Chicago leaders at U.S. Palestinian Community Network (USPCN), to get his perspective.

Nick explains some of the tactics and strategies he has been using to escalate the issue of Palestinian liberation and his domestic and foreign policy preferences.

We were able to source a video of the disruption and the coverage the event received on CNN.

When you practice disruptive politics, you often aim to get media attention because it can help with fundraising or policy action. There is no sure guarantee of coverage, and the disruptions can be risky. But you’ll hear directly from Nick and I do think there is quite a bit to be learned here.

What do you think about disruptive politics?
