Following the May Day celebration in Union Park, I headed to the Office of the Consulate General of the Philippines where a demonstration was scheduled to protest the upcoming meeting between President Biden and President Bongbong Marcos of the Philippines. The demonstration placed a hot spotlight on some important foreign policy issues. Here are my thoughts about and images from the event.
Saturday’s abortion rights demonstration in Chicago’s Federal Plaza proved more interesting than I expected.

I also was physically attacked (not by the Iranians). Here are thoughts on the experience, as well as my images.
Today, somewhere around 5,000 abortion-rights advocates gather in Chicago’s Federal Plaza, and they then marched through the Loop, ending at the Ida B. Wells Memorial. Here are my thoughts about what I witnessed, together with my images.
Today, I attended Chicago’s student led march to combat climate change. The demonstrators were enthusiastic and vocal, but the turnout was pathetic when compared to other demonstrations throughout the world. To read my take on the march and for my photographs, click on the image or the link.
