Hundreds rally in Chicago to oppose Donald Trump and express disappointment with Democrats on heels of election

CHICAGO — Hundreds of people gathered in Chicago’s Federal Plaza Wednesday night less than a day after former President Donald Trump won his reelection bid to affirm their support for progressive policies like abortion access, immigrant rights and an end to U.S. military aid to Israel.

The protest, the first of what organizers promised would be many as the country sizes up a second term under Trump, echoed common refrains from the former president’s first term that condemned Trump’s rhetoric about women, immigrants and other groups. But they also accused Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, of abandoning progressive ideals they felt could have propelled them into the White House.

Many at the rally, organized by several groups who protested U.S. military aid to Israel at the Democratic National Convention, argued that the Democratic Party’s position on the Israel-Hamas war, among other policies, had undercut Harris’ chance at victory.

Hatem Abudayyeh, the chair of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network, said he and other activists were “bracing ourselves and our movement and our organizations for four years of protests.”
