Protestors in the Rain

On the way to the Metra station on Monday, after work, I looked up to see that State Street had been filled with protestors.

At first, I thought the crowd had blocked off State Street and the police were moving in to disperse them. After a few minutes, I realized that the police were part of the protest route and were simply bringing up the rear.

A lot of people and musicians.

On walking up Washington, I realized it was part of Fight for 15, specifically targetting McDonald’s.

The crowd, wrapping around to Michigan Avenue.

The start of the protest, near Michigan and Randolph – about to head North through downtown.
