Heightened Demonstration Awareness Due to Justice for Palestine Protest on August 9, 2022

Secure Chicago

In coordination with our cross-sector partners dedicated to safety and security, Titan is monitoring an emergency “Stand with GAZA” protest being held by the coalition for Justice in Palestine on Tuesday August 9th in downtown Chicago.

The protest is scheduled to start at 4:30pm CT at Michigan Ave and Ida B Wells Dr. The Justice in Palestine group can draw several hundred and sometimes thousands for their cause. They historically march to 500 W Madison and tie up traffic during rush hour. It is expected that while potentially disruptive, these events are anticipated to be largely peaceful.

As information surrounding this and associated demonstrations becomes available, it will be posted on the Titan News and Resources hub.
