This is a conversation with Morgan Chiles, Emerald Depree and Justice Rene-Anthony Medina, the organizer of the very large Black Lives Matter demonstration that shut down Shaw, Blackstone and then Bullard avenue on July 9. Justice was issued a citation last week because he did not have a permit for the event. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) noted that a special event permit can take several weeks to secure. According to activists, the urgency of the demonstration - responding to recent officer involved shootings, makes the burdensome application process an infringement on the first amendment right to free speech.

Pam Whalen was the host.

This is the original version of Justice Medina's song Power for the People. I had to edit the original version, because it was being broadcast on the radio and FCC rules prohibit things like Fuck Jerry Dyer, Fuck the system. . .

The FCC has the power to take away a radio station's license or levy a fine that would bankrupt us. But, the FCC does not have control of the Internet.
