Over a thousand people rallied downtown Sunday afternoon to rage against President Donald Trump's political agenda to mark the upcoming one-month anniversary of his inauguration.
The #ResistTrump protest is one of several actions planned around the country and in Chicago this week to mark the milestone and to call attention to the damaging effects of his anti-immigrant executive orders and political appointments.
The protesters marched through the Loop after rallying downtown, with a performance from the local band known for performing the Imperial March from Star Wars in ode to Trump:
