Hundreds of mostly women and girls from Chicago’s Ukrainian community joined hands Sunday to form a “human chain” across several blocks in the Loop as the group called on elected officials to declare Russia a terrorist state.
Donning white dresses and carrying signs that read “I want to tell the truth about Russia,” the nearly 500 protesters also put tape over their mouths as a silent protest against “sensitive content” tags they say are being used on social media to block news stories of Russian acts of terror.
