View from the Wing: Furious Travelers Sue Protest Organizers After Chicago O’Hare Blockade Causes Chaos And Missed Flights

View from the Wing wrote about our lawsuit, Manhart v. AJP Educational Foundation, et al., suing the individuals and organized who participated in the anti-Israel traffic blockade.

The suit, filed by the Hamilton Lincoln Law Institute, targets the protest organizers of the April 15 blockade of the main entrance into O’Hare that blocked traffic for three hours.

Their plaintiff missed his flight, killed a day, and failed to make it to a work event at his destination. He’s suing on behalf of other passengers held in their cars, displaced by the blockade, and who suffered the consequences of missed travel. They seek both damages and an injunction against future blockades.

Named defendants include The Tides Center, National Students for Justice in Palestine, American Muslims for Palestine, the WESPAC Foundation, and the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights among others who provided funds or organizing assistance to the “A15 Action” blockade.
