Protestors with signs and flags 🇺🇸 marching for a mile from the Chicago River and Wacker Drive down Dearborn Street to Daley Plaza. ETA: There’s also a backdrop of 6 beautiful pride flags 🏳️‍🌈

I’m traveling 🧳 tomorrow and could not participate so I just did a drive by.

Mom is watching YT and said there’s no parade TACO 🌮.

The march took up much of the Loop, with the front of the march blocks away from the tail, which was still making its way through Michigan Avenue and Wacker Drive an hour after the lead of the march came through.

Protesters had made their way through the southwest end of the Loop around 2:45 p.m. The driver of a 54th/Cermak bound Pink Line train slowed down at Clark and Van Buren to let off a loud whistle from the train, resulting in loud cheers from protesters.

The march was originally slated to wrap at 2 p.m. By around 2:45 p.m., protesters began filtering back into Daley Plaza after snaking through downtown streets for over an hour and a half. Organizers stationed in tents in the plaza handed out free water bottles to marchers looking to quench their thirsts.
