By now, many of you have read Diane’s and John’s reports of Not Dead Yet’s team that shut down the Embassy Suites elevators Saturday morning at breakfast time, chanting in the echo chamber of the hotel’s famous 11 story atrium. Here is a video of the activists who conducted that civil disobedience being escorted out of the hotel by police. The video is courtesy of Canadian activist Nic Steenhout.
In addition, TK Small interviewed Diane about the action on his long running radio show The Largest Minority, which plays on New York City’s public radio station WBAI. The interview was broadcast live on September 24, 2014 at 9:00 p.m. ET and is archived here. It begins about 15 minutes into the one hour program and lasts about 20 minutes.
I was very much honored to have been apart of the Action at the Embassy Hotel on Thursday and Friday. You have much to teach and we must learn from our Patriots. Storming the Hotel on Friday at dinner time was an eye opening experience from someone who was part of the Labor Movement in Washington County. Seeing everyone stand together to get the message across. My group was from Tripil, and Kathleen Klinemann, our CEO brought us to Chicago to hear what NOT DEAD YET was all about. I want to Thank you for giving me the insight that we are a force to be reckoned with. Good Work Diane and John and all those who were present to make things happen.
