Father Pfleger
Father Michael Pfleger took to the streets today on behalf of the Palestinians living in Gaze. The event had a much stronger religious tone than other pro-Palestinian demonstrators. Here are my thoughts about and images from the rally.
GazaPalooza
Today, I attended another pro-Palestinian demonstration; this one at the intersection of Michigan Avenue and Upper Wacker Drive. The heritage Palestinians apparently chose this location because it provided maximum visibility to those headed to Lollapalooza. Here are my thoughts about and images from the demonstration and the march that followed.

On Sunday, May 18, 2025, I covered a Chicago Ukrainian Community demonstration commemorating the second anniversary of the end of the siege of the Azovstal Iron and Steel Works in Mariupol, Ukraine. Here are my thoughts about and images from the demonstration.
It's All Connected
On Sunday, April 6, 2025, I attended a late afternoon rally by members of Chicago’s Ukrainian Community. Their focus was Putin’s decision to murder nine children two days earlier in Kryviv Rih, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s hometown. Here are my thoughts about and images from the rally and march.
Tigray Demonstration
Today, I stumbled onto a demonstration and march held to draw attention to the plight of Ethiopia’s Tigrayan civilians, who face famine, rape, and genocide. The marchers were particularly agitated about drone sales to the Ethiopian Government by the Turks and the Chinese. Here are my thoughts about and images from what proved to be a dynamic and color demonstration.
