Two social justice groups' appeals for permits to protest near the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago were denied by a judge, sparking a federal lawsuit against the city. The groups aimed to demonstrate near the United Center during the DNC in August, accusing Chicago of violating their First Amendment rights by blocking their protest plans. Despite the denial, protesters are planning to "make life miserable" for DNC organizers and attendees with or without permits, indicating plans for large pro-Palestinian and other marches.
Did Chicago government officials direct the cancellation of a Jewish American musician's performance in that city? Days afterwards, the questions are only growing. They must be answered. https://t.co/fIbGg82l9m https://t.co/76Dv8tYLfo

Chicago is denying DNC protest permits, instead offering a 2-block Grant Park route far from the convention. But protesters say even without permits they'll "make life miserable" for Democrats with huge pro-Palestinian, other marches. For @chicagotribune: https://t.co/aUpCBzVqNP

Standing outside a Matisyahu concert holding a sign that reads: "All Zionists will burn in hell" Totally reasonable welcome for an artist who sings about peace. https://t.co/aw1pOgEM05
