Chicago "No Kings" protest pics

(No, I wasn't there. I attended one of the many suburban events scattered throughout Chicagoland, because I knew I wouldn't be handle the gigantic crowd downtown. And from the looks of some of these pics, I know I made the right decision. )

I've been on the lookout for some good pics of the Chicago event that weren't blocked by a paywall, and I found some! Take a look at how the nation's third largest city did No Kings!

“Trump is attacking people at the margins, and we’re privileged people, but he’s going to eventually come for us, too,” said April LaCroix, who came with partner Matt Meador and their three young children. “It’s easy to think stuff like this doesn’t matter, but I was telling the kids, if nobody shows up, we don’t make a point. Every single person matters.”

Gotta 💙 Chicago.

I did a local one as well, my 17 year old car prefers not to make long trips into the city.

Thank you, ShazzieB.
