These people are ALL OVER downtown Chicago during the non-wintery months. Geenpeace & Children International are the most common. Like, if I walk four blocks to go get some lunch, I am guaranteed to pass 2 or 3 clusters of them.

My general tactic for dealing with them is to flat-out ignore them just like I do panhandlers. Yeah, it is rude, but when there's somebody asking you for money every block, one runs out of patience real fast.

On the rare occasion that one of them manages to corner me, I usually just tell them that I don't give money or personal information to random people on the street.
