According to the Chicago Sun-Times (March 19, 2005):

"Hundreds of police officers, some in riot gear, lined the streets of downtown Chicago Saturday as anti-war protesters commemorated the second anniversary of the U.S. led invasion of Iraq."

The number of protestors was estimated as "about a thousand."

Permit for the march had earlier been denied by the City of Chicago, but the activist organizers appealed the city's violation of free speech -- only to have, on March 11, a federal judge dismiss the law suit!

The route went from the city's Gold Coast neighborhood to the Federal Plaza where a rally was held.

I left the march early today. Truth be told, I wasn't really in the mood for a march. I haven't been for at least two years now, when I finally realized all those marches weren't making any difference. I go anyway, usually, for the same reason everyone else does: I can't figure out what else to do. But I did not stay today.

I promise that this isn't a rant!! :) please read and comment...

i know many of us are getting tierd of the same pattern: we go downtown, march (either permitted or unpermitted) yell at people who are trying to get home and generally agree with us, yell at cops who also generally agree with us but are working to feed their kids and pay rent, get hearded into some random place in town (industrial SE, waterfont park, etc) where there is nothing we can go. We get to yell a lot, see each other, then we go home tierd and not having really acheived anything. I have some ideas that i would like to share...

"[Martin Luther] King and his kind have betrayed our bosom interests with their demagogic delirium. The poor fool knows nothing of the antagonist's true nature and has not the perception to read and learn by history and past events. In a nonviolent movement there must be a latent threat of eruption, a dormant possibility of sudden and violent action if concessions are to be won, respect gained, and the established order altered. That nonviolent theory is practicle in civilized lands among civilized people, the Asians and Africans, but a look at European history shows that anything of great value that ever changed hands was taken by force of arms." --George Jackson, Soledad Brother

Everyone wants peace, that is a given. But the question is how far will we go to accomplish peace? Following an ice-cream truck around in a parade fashion is not my idea of an actual protest. Our voices need to be heard, not muffled. There have been too many times we have been ignored because of our lack of persistence. Do we not care anymore? When the war started we protested, but why have we dimmed our actions? March 19th should be the new beginning of a revolt. How many more people does our nation have to kill in order for people to understand what is going on? We are the ones that have to put an end to this senseless brutality. What ever happened to "For the people, by the people"? Time of action is at hand.
