On January 18, the Chicago City Council overwhelmingly approved Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s ordinances to give police new powers to crack down on protests ahead of the NATO/G8 joint summit coming to the city in May.
The changes to Chicago’s parade ordinance governing protests that Emanuel was demanding would have been worse if not for a campaign by unions, community groups, immigrant rights organizations and the Occupy movement in the two weeks leading up to the vote, which forced the mayor to withdraw some of the worst provisions.
It’s a sad day for your rights.

On one hand, this is incredibly sad and scary. On the other hand…it shows exactly how scared the establishment is of things like the OWS movement. So, double-edged sword?

I’m very upset this got through, but I’m glad the people didn’t sit down quietly either.
