Protests against police violence and racial injustice have continued in Columbus and around the country since late May.
Some demonstrators are calling for the police to be reformed, while others want the departments defunded or even abolished. But who writes the new rules? Who are the demonstrators and who speaks for them?
Today on All Sides with Ann Fisher, we discuss who speaks for protesters on the street and in the halls of government.
Guests:
Ashley Howard, associate professor of history, University of Iowa
Mia Santiago, founding member, Columbus Freedom Coalition
Ambrose DuPree, Black Queer and Intersectional Collective
Jasmine Ayres, community organizer, People's Justice Project
State Rep. Erica Crawley, Ohio 24th district for Southeast Columbus
