Democratic National Convention 2016: The Story From The Streets

August 4, 2016 by Eleanor Goldfield Follow @ActivistEleanor @ActivistEleanor

This week on Act Out! host Eleanor Goldfield takes us into the streets of Philadelphia to follow the protests outside the 2016 Democratic National Convention.

This week, it’s all about the DNC — from the streets. We’re bringing you marches, rallies and speeches — interviews with activists, Bernie supporters and non-affiliated protesters.

From Philly, from our streets, this is Act Out!
