So who is Lisa Fithian? According to Discover the Networks Fithian is a longtime community organizer who specializes in aggressive “direct action” tactics and, as journalist Byron York puts it, “operates in the world of anti-globalism anarchists, antiwar protesters, and union activists.” Fithian served as a human shield in actions conducted by the International Solidarity Movement in the Palestinian cities of Jenin and Nablus. She has accused Israel of “slaughter[ing] Palestinians every single day in Gaza and the Occupied territories.”
In 2011, the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) hired Lisa Fithian to train teachers to protest in Chicago.
This video by EAG News showcased Fithian in action.
After three decades Fithian is still directing protests and lawlessness.
This week she’s operating in Ferguson.
