Summary: Hundreds take to the streets; announce anti-Trump actions on the day of his inauguration, January 20 – Editors

Several hundred people participated in the demonstration today, Saturday, January 11, which was held by pro-Palestine activists in downtown Chicago. Of course, one of the reasons for the low turnout can be attributed to the cold and snowy weather. The demonstrations were held in opposition to the genocide against the Palestinian people and the attack by Israeli soldiers on all medical centers in Gaza. It was notable that two doctors who had worked in Gaza as volunteers participated in the demonstration. They explained the conditions in Gaza, the siege and occupation of hospitals by the Israeli army, and their inhuman and fascist actions against both medical staff and patients. They stated that in addition to the people of Gaza being killed by the bombs and bullets of Israeli soldiers, many Palestinian children are freezing to death due to the extremely cold weather. 

Let us not forget that in the recent fire in California, the US politicians talked about a lack of funding, but they provide billions of dollars in financial and military aid to the Zionist and occupying Israeli government. It was not without reason that the Democratic Party, with such actions, practically paved the way for the election of Trump, a misogynist, a fascist, and a convicted criminal.  

 At the demonstration, we distributed flyers from our organization featuring an article on Trump’s treatment of immigrants in America.  

The demonstration began at 1:00 PM and ended at 3:30 PM, after a march on Michigan Avenue. The next Palestine demonstration is scheduled to be held, along with the participation of other political movements, on January 20th, as a statement of resistance against Trump. It will be held at 11:00 AM in front of the Federal Building, 230 South Dearborn Street.
