I was tired this morning and not sure how many would show up to shut down the Dan Ryan to protest the violence and lack of investment in communities on the South and West side since the police were threatening arrests. But I decided that if someone like me, doesn’t show up for something like this, then how can there be hope — or at least how can I feel any. So I stood and marched with thousands of others and we did shut it down, and we will stand and march together again.
