Just a little update and some info.
The protests against ALEC started today
Moral Monday Coalition drops banners, risks arrests to protest corporate-authored legislationChicago--(ENEWSPF)--August 5 - The Chicago Moral Monday Coalition, an alliance of Chicago clergy, lay people, unions and community organizations, has just taken over the lobby of the Palmer House Hilton, at 17 E. Monroe St., to protest the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), which is slated to meet at the hotel this Wednesday for its 40th annual national conference. The Coalition is demanding that the Palmer House rescind its invitation to ALEC. Numerous Coalition members intend to risk arrest should the hotel not meet their demand, in order to raise awareness of the backroom deals ALEC makes with legislators, and demand ALEC be held accountable. A press conference will immediately follow the action, at the Monroe Street entrance.
