Alice Brandon was crying very much recently.
Logan Square residents were diagnosed with breast cancer in the third stage in 39, and she was told that she had a 20 % chance to survive. It was until a federal research program created a drug that increased its chances of more than four times.
While monitoring federal funding for medical research, cancer drugs such as those that saved her life, Brandon, now in the 1950s, cannot help.
She was among the thousands who moved to Dali Plaza on Saturday, and after that in a march on La Lael Street, then until the State Street Street, in the “Hands” protest organized by the Illinois and Refugee Alliance, Chicago, is impressive, equal in Illinois, and the Chicago Union of Workers and others. Organizers said that more than 30,000 people went on Saturday to the crowd against Trump and the CEO of billionaire Elon Musk.
The protester, Alice Brandon, holds a sign of reading, “a proud wife of” effective “federal workers who clean toxic companies. No discounts to the Environmental Protection Agency!” In the episode on Saturday.
He was one of more than 1,200 “hands!” The demonstrations planned by more than 150 groups in all fifty states, including civil rights organizations, trade unions, LBGTQ+ preachers and old warriors and elections. Many suburbs, and many democratic strongholds were also planned outside the city, including Juliet, Rockford, Hailand Park, Leslie and others.
In the center of Arlington Heights, hundreds of demonstrators gathered on the northwest highway road with their approval while they were driving.
The demonstrators have made signaling of anti -Trump disputes including, “Project 8647”.
A protest leader thanked two people who stood near the Arlington Heights Mitra station carrying a transient flag, and told them that he had a transformed child.
Then the protest leader walked along the northwestern highway, “Show me how democracy looks!” Many have responded in the crowd through screaming, “This is what democracy seems to be!”
Kate Yutica, 68, from the North suburbs Gracelik, said that the diverse large crowd vision gave her “hope and strength.”
“This is not a women's issue. This is a human issue of all colors and all people. I feel dismay about how our democracy collapses.”
A protester is walking on Al -Baladah Street in the episode, where thousands opposed the policies of President Donald Trump and the influence of Elon Musk on his administration on Saturday.
The protests targeted Trump's recent actions in Illinois in Illinois, including: the launch of thousands of federal workers, the raid targeting legal citizens and migrants, trying to remove protection for transgender employees and federal financing on local health programs, medical research, arts and humanitarian programs. The administration also reduced jobs that oversee the Head Start program, leaving about 28,000 children in Illinois alone – as well as their parents and those who care for them – in a state of forgetfulness with great discounts in the Ministry of Education.
Trump's recently announced tariff against the main American trade partners in the stock market, which has obtained its worst stumbling this week since the first days of Covid-19 epidemic, has sparked a global trade war.
Administration raids targeting legal citizens and migrants regarding UTICA. Her husband is a migrant from Nicaragua, so she is concerned that he can be recognized and arrested – and that he is of Mexican origin, and the American citizen is also concerned about targeting. But immediately, I saw tens of thousands of dollars from her pension fund disappear.
“Since Trump entered, she lost about 85,000 dollars (from 401K),” said Uitika. “It is a terrifying matter that they can take this and my social guarantee. I have nothing.”

Being in a protest on Saturday in the episode was a character of Brandon. “I will not be here without federal funding for cancer research,” said Brandon.
Brandon has the effect of Trump's policies on several fronts. Her husband, a worker in the Environmental Protection Agency in Chicago, was saved from the recent discounts of the agency, but he fears for the future because they see their retirement investments diminish. She works in Cook County Province, which also receives federal funding, especially for youth work programs and cleaning projects.
She said, “If this money dries up, it hurts the local population.”
Katie Catyam, 41, came to the city center march because she feels that “the time has come to allow our voices hearing, and that we will not defend fascism and the oligarchy that controls our federal government and leaves all of this in our local and state systems.”
She said that she is a member of the LGBTQ+ community, and that she fears the Trump administration's efforts to decrease protection for sexually transgender people and transgender people.
She said: “We need to make sure that our converted brothers, sisters, and our converting children are safe, and that our rights as gay and gay people in Illinois and all over this country are safe under the rule of law.”
The protester holds a reading sign, “Hands” in the episode while protesting on Saturday.
Justin Montefo, a 22 -year -old student at the University of Roosevelt, said he was concerned about the Trump administration's discounts to the US Department of Education.
“I see many people who have been appointed to go to the graduate school, or have been appointed to come to the college, or now they guess their decision, or see that their aid offers are canceled.”
Edison Woodward, 85, attended the gathering with a striking card that read “Muck Fusk”.
A Streterville resident said it was shook by collective workers in the Ministry of Health and Humanitarian Services earlier this week.
Woodward said: “I hope that it will be the oldest is that Republicans in the House of Representatives and Republicans in the Senate are starting to stand and explain that Congress has authority over a large group of things that Trump is trying to do,” Woodward said.
The demonstrators walk on Saturday.
For Jazmin Orozco, who was participating in her first protest, it was important to “appear”.
“Only by showing the world that we do not agree with the Trump administration, they will know that we do not agree with everything that is going on.”
Uruzko's parents became legal residents in 2017 after they were here about two decades ago, and childhood fears of her parents disappear-she said that she clearly remembers rumors about a ice raid in a grocery store when she was eight years old-she returned to appear after the protesters supporting Palestinians and other legal populations who were transferred due to ice this year.
“I remember crying on my teacher, I think that my mother will go without looking at,” said Orrozko. “Now that it has been documented, there is still a little fear because they may target it on how it appears or because it speaks Spanish. I can't even imagine how children feel now.”
