Senator James Sanders Jr. will be hosting: "Understanding Why Some Groups Sabotage Protests," a Facebook Live discussion about the types of groups who sabotage successful demonstrations. Following the brutal police killing of George Floyd, there were many examples of unrest. We would like to examine how and why certain groups or organizations take protests of injustice and transform them into chaos. Please join Senator Sanders in a conversation with leading experts on the development of this phenomenon.
