Social Justice Groups Appeal City’s Decision To Block Democratic National Convention Protests – Block Club Chicago

March for the People’s Agenda and Students for a Democratic Society at UIC filed for parade permits last month to march near the United Center. The groups applied to demonstrate on different dates during the Aug. 19-22 convention, and outlined different parade routes and attendance levels. Both groups were denied and each was given the same alternative parade route more than 3 miles away from the United Center, one of the main convention sites.
