The DNC lends arts, laughs and politicians to the West Side
Here’s how you can get involved By JESSICA MORDACQ
ERIKA HOBBS
Contributing Reporter
Editor in chief
An estimated 50,000 people descended on Chicago this week for the Democratic National Convention on Monday. Reporter Jessica Mordacq is among them, reporting on the scene for the West Side. Austin Weekly News goes to the printer on Monday, so we can’t bring you the latest in print. We can do that online, so for the next two days, follow us at https://ow.ly/ PaY950T1uqk for real-time updates about what the DNC means for you. Check back after, too, because our reporting won’t end there. In the meantime, take a look at what you may have missed and learn how to keep up with the DNC during the next few days.
