TSBU meets Laura, citizen assembly member and activist, in Serbia to discuss the historical and current developments in the ongoing anti-government protest movement which began in November of last year and shows no sign of stopping. They talk to Fritz about the ins and outs of the self-organized Citizen Assemblies within which they participate, the limits and possibilities of horizontalist political organizing, police violence, electoral developments and what's changed in the people's self-image since the revolt began.
