January 20th anti-Trump protests in Chicago:
From the article:
Two organized demonstrations in Chicago on the day of Donald Trump's inauguration merged into a single if splintered downtown protest with crowds chanting in opposition to the new president as they marched through the streets.
After speeches at Daley Plaza, protesters took to the streets and a large crowd gathered at Wacker Drive and Wabash Avenue, across the Chicago River from Trump Tower. Police stopped them from crossing the river to get to the skyscraper.

It was cold and damp, but that did not stop thousands from gathering at 3pm in Daley Plaza. There were many speeches in Spanish and English with a common theme of resistance and the necessity to continue protesting and challenging Trump's version of normal.
And we will continue.
