Protest organizers want to be able to march in sight and sound of the Democratic National Convention at the United Center.
CHICAGO -- Pro-Palestinian groups on Monday called out Chicago leaders for denying their applications to protest outside the Democratic National Convention in August. Members from Anti-War Committee Chicago and Students for a Democratic Society filed separate applications to protest outside the United Center during the DNC.
'CDOT has sent a clear message. They stand with the political elites in Washington, and against the people of Chicago,' said John Metz, with Anti-War Committee Chicago.Organizers said they will not relocate, and want their protests to be seen and heard during the DNC, not miles away where delegates and others attending the convention would not see them.
