Overpass Protest: Honking for Peace

Photos from the Saturday, March 15, overpass protest in Chicago. (article 2)
These are photos from the Saturday, March 15, overpass protest. The protest started at the Madison Street overpass on the Kennedy Expressway and expanded to other bridges as it grew in size. We were out there from 11am to 3pm, during which an estimated 80,000 cars passed by--sparking discussion amongst drivers and passengers. In response to our "honk for peace" signs, a vast majority of the commuters honked and/or gave us a supportive signal (thumbs up, peace sign, etc), showing tremendous opposition to Bush's war on Iraq. It was indeed a very noisy afternoon.

Organizers are planning a similar event next Saturday, March 22nd at 11am, starting on the Madison Street overpass on the Kennedy Expressway and expanding to other bridges as the crowd grows.
