DNC Frustrations, Riot Fest Returns, and Bears’ Hope Rising

Logistics concerns surrounding next week’s Democratic National Convention continue to frustrate West Side residents and media members who believe they've been provided inadequate information about the city’s security, transit, and protest protocols. The Triibe’s editor-in-chief Tiffany Walden and community investment reporter Corli Jay are here with host Jacoby Cochran to break down the latest confusion. Plus, we discuss Riot Fest’s last-minute return to Douglass Park, how youth peacekeepers are impacting their communities, and some early hopeful signs coming out of the Bears’ camp.
