Pro-Palestinian supporters who are against the continued war on Gaza marched in a peaceful protest Saturday, March 16, 2024.

The protest march coincided with the annual St. Patrick's Day festivities in downtown Chicago, both of which contributed to lots of pedestrian & traffic congestion.

The protest march focused on the on-going violence in the Gaza strip where up to 35,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in the past several months.
