On this episode of “Chicago this Week,” we talk to activists who are fighting to get permission to protest outside this summer’s Democratic National Convention. We meet two new NFL recruits who grew up in the Chicago area. We also take you to Mexico Fest.

“Chicago This Week” is a half-hour show that features news, sports, business and entertainment stories from around Chicago. All the producing, reporting, writing, shooting and editing are done by Medill graduate students.
