I have had some issues with him over the years but you can't agree on everything and I think he is one of the best Dems in congress right now and he works hard at home in IL besides D.C.
I have no idea the size, and had to leave to a friend's office space eventually but this paper said this and other city marches are in the link at the end

It's already cold early in Chicago and more protests are expected . Can't believe we have to be protesting now right after win in record cold temps FDT
