CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) - It's being called "Black Christmas," a protest like the Black Friday protest along Chicago's Mag Mile.

Demonstrators angry over police misconduct will be marching down Michigan Avenue on Christmas Eve. The group A Coalition for a New Chicago says the demonstration is meant to hit Chicago in the wallet and send a message that Mayor Emanuel "has to go."

Brigid weeney of Crain's Chicago joined us LIVE on GDC Thursday morning to talk about what the protest could mean for retailers on the Magnificent Mile.
