Officials have plans in place that the protest will eventually end at Grant Park.Rabbi Michael Ben Yousef is one of the organizers. He said this has been in the works for weeks and they’ve been in contact with Illinois State Police.“If they’re looting, we do not want the looters in our demonstration,” he said. “That is against our mandate, our mandate is non-violence.”State police say they will protect the rights of those seeking to peacefully protest while ensuring the safety of the public, and released the following statement:“The Illinois State Police is aware of the planned protest to march along the Dan Ryan Expressway&nbsp;.&nbsp; We have been in contact with the protest organizers to set up a safe route of travel. &nbsp;The Illinois State Police will protect the rights of those seeking to peacefully protest while&nbsp;ensuring the safety of the public.
