War protest?
That was my inital thought as I was driving down 90 / 94 this afternoon. But then I saw all of the flags of Mexico and Ireland. A quick search found that the March for Immigrant Rights was taking place this afternoon. Anyone else see it?
Yes, they have all of the streets around here blocked off. I’m at LaSalle and Van Buren. I was wondering what was going on.
Yes… it took me 40 minutes to get from LSD to 90/94 going down Roosevelt because of all the traffic and foot-traffic.
It was a huge amount of people! As far as I could tell it was completly peaceful too.
took me 50 minutes to get from UIC to Hubbard/orleans. not to mention the choppers alllll dayyyyyy lonnnnnnng…but hey, i never saw so many mexicans carrying the American Flag…so it was quite the refreshing reminder that we are AMERICANS.
There will be a war protest on the 18th. There will be a feeder march at Oz Park in Licoln Park.
On the third anniversary of the invasion unite with the community to say end the war and bring the troops home.
They will gather at 12:00 noon in Oz Park on the corner of Lincoln and Webster.
After a short speak-out and open mic they will march at 12:30 to Union Park (Ashland and Lake) to converge with other community feeder marches at 3:00.
