Protesting in River North, Chicago
There was some sort of protest outside our office this morning on State Street. Looking down the road and over the bridge you could see just hundreds, if not thousands, of people in wheelchairs in a line down the street. I think they were with Adapt. A couple more photos here.
Anti-War Protest, The Loop, Chicago
Nancy and Josh and I came up from the subway at Clark/Lake today and found ourselves in the middle of an anti-war protest. Today marks the one year anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq war. Over 5,000 demonstrators flanked by police officers met on Michigan Avenue to march through the streets of downtown Chicago. Jesse Jackson addressed the crowd beforehand and urged everyone “It’s time to fight back: Remember in November.” The march was one of 250 anti-war protests scheduled around the country by United for Peace and Justice.
