North Shore Says NO! protesters stood on four Interstate 94 overpasses during rush hour on Friday mornings and evenings to protest against President Donald Trump’s administration and ICE agents in Chicagoland.
Around 25 protesters demonstrated at the Church Street location in Skokie on Friday afternoon.
People held up signs toward I-94 that said phrases such as “Radical Empathy,” “Stop Fascism” and “No Kings.”
Some also faced Church Street during the protest.
Nancy Bruski, a 2nd Ward resident, proposed the idea of protesting on the overpass.
Demonstrators also held up the American flag toward the I-94.
Evanston resident Joanne Davis held up a sign toward the oncoming cars on Church Street, holding up a thumbs-up sign or cheering whenever the cars honked.
The demonstrations were first organized in September after the Trump administration announced Operation Midway Blitz.
The reaction from oncoming vehicles on the I-94 and on Church Street ranged from thumbs-up and honking to thumbs-downs and an occasional middle finger.
Morton Grove resident Jaclyn Jennetten joined the demonstration with her daughter, Olivia. The six-year-old and her mother held up signs that they had made.
