A demonstration scheduled to take place in Chicago this weekend is aiming to shut down the Dan Ryan Expressway, mirroring a now-historic anti-violence march that closed the same roadway in July 2018.
Hosted by several area organizations, the protest, titled “Black Lives Matter March: SHUTDOWN OUR DAN RYAN,” is set to step off at noon Saturday at 39 W. 47th Street.
Illinois State Police confirmed they are aware of the protest and have been in contact with protest organizers “to set up a safe route of travel.”
