Just three and a half days of training to go. I have some assignments to complete this week yet, so I'm grateful for having evenings off for the rest of the week. I also hope to visit the Art Institute and go to one more concert of the Chicago Symphony. I fly back to Toronto at 6:00 on Sunday.
For those who were curious to hear more about our public witness (aka demonstration), I invite you to visit the article which appeared on Medill Reports. In the photo accompanying the article, I'm on the left, in the red toque and the yellow cape (I was handing out leaflets to traffic stopped at the red light, so needed to be visible). You can also read the official CPT report.
More to come once I get home!

YIKES! I hope that you weren't one of the ones arrested!? Sounds odd... arrested for trespassing when you all were standing on the sidewalk. Hmm.
No, I wasn't arrested. It was the people who were inside and refused to leave when the office closed, wanting to wait until the congressman responded to the request. The point of getting arrested and going to court is to have an official record of the protest, for posterity. Otherwise, the protest is just smoke that wafts away ...
