The group Iowa Freedom Riders led protesters to a new location Friday night: Iowa City Mayor Bruce Teague’s house.
Friday night’s protest began on the Pentacrest, as all of the other recent protests have since June 1st. The group then moved their way west, eventually marching to Teague’s Denbigh Drive home. The Iowa Freedom Riders have been negotiating with Teague and the city council on a list of demands presented to the council on Tuesday. The group’s leaders say the city has not been fast enough in enacting the measures.
Teague stood at the end of his driveway during Friday night’s protest, telling demonstrators he heard their concerns.
The Iowa City city council plans to address some of the group’s demands at Tuesday’s meeting.
