My partner and I have a short break next week and some credit card points so we decided to go to Chicago since we’ve never been. Totally forgot the DNC is happening at the same time. We’ve already booked flights and hotel and stuff damn it. At least if something funny happens I’ll be there for the history of it.

Any recommendations for things to do/see in Chicago? Also I’m hoping there are some Gaza protests we can join, anyone know of any going on?

As far as I know there is a huge planned protest at the DNC itself. You could probably just try showing up or try looking up Chicagos SJP group and see if they have anything posted.

Keep in mind; getting arrested in another state can be very expensive. You may be required to show up for hearings god knows when, they may declare you a flight risk and deny bail. Idk for sure, but do look up the risks when assessing your arrestability.

Yeah I’m sure I’ll run into at the very least, hopefully it’ll be huge
