As the day draws closer when the 2016 Olympic city is announced cities prepare for the big announcement and yes that even means dealing with the protests that are taking place in Chicago. The group No Games Chicago is opposing the bid for the Olympics in Chicago in 2016 claiming that the city of Chicago does not have enough money to finance a massive worldwide event like this and that instead of spending large quantities of money on this even it should be invested in better schooling among other things in the city.
Also the group is stating that there are going to be too many people of a lower class in the Washington Park area who are kicked out of there houses in order to build structures for the Olympics.
On Tuesday September 29 the group held a protest outside of Chicago's city hall trying to inform the city that Chicago is not ready to hold such an even like the Olympics.
On Friday Oct. 2 the International Olympic Committee will announce the winner of the 2016 Olympics. At 9:00 a.m in Daley Plaza there will be a celebration for the announcement.
