The Chicago Freedom School Is Suing The City After Inspectors Cited Them For Offering Food To Protesters Trapped Downtown – Block Club Chicago

On May 30, the school at 719 S. State St., which teaches primarily Black and Brown youth the fundamentals of community organizing, acted as a refuge to protesters who were trapped downtown as curfew approached. The 10-count lawsuit alleges the victims’ constitutional right to free speech and freedom from “unreasonable illegal search” were violated.
