On March 20, 2003, more than 17,000 peace protesters took over Lake Shore Drive in one of the legendary protests in Chicago history.  That protest faced mass arrest and detention, and a lawsuit which took nearly nine years to resolve.  We'll learn more about what happened in this segment.

* CHICAGO CITY COUNCIL PASSES ANTI-PROTESTER ORDINANCE

Chicago's new mayor Rahm Emanuel and the Chicago City Council recently passed a controversial ordinance making it harder to hold public protests in Chicago.  We'll learn more about the ordinance in this segment from the group Occupy Travels.

Chicago Independent Television is the result of that movement.

Our mission is to provide YOUR CORPORATE NEWS ALTERNATIVE.
