On the June 3rd edition of Your Call, we’ll have a conversation about Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf’s decision to ban street protests after dark in response to acts of vandalism during a demonstration last month. The decision has drawn criticism from civil liberties groups and protests against the curfew. What are the responsibilities of demonstrators and when is it right for police to intervene? Where do you stand on protest curfews? It’s Your Call with Matt Martin, and you.
Guests:
Jesse Choper, Earl Warren professor of Public Law at UC Berkeley’s School of Law
Michael Flynn, president of the National Lawyers Guild SF Bay Area chapter from 2010 to 2013, and current Executive Board member
