#BREAKING #NEWS 🧵
#Protestors in support of #Palestine are engaging in a sitting #protest across a major highway, just outside of #OHareAirport in #Chicago. They have completely stopped all traffic coming into the airport, both for pick-ups and for drop-offs.
This is an extremely busy section of 8-lane roadway, and is also expected to affect other morning rush-hour commuter traffic in the area. The protest could possibly impact #AirTraffic across the country, as countless people have been unable to make their flights.
Protestors chose today because April 15th is #TaxDay, the "due date" for all US citizens to pay their taxes. The protestors want people to consider where their tax dollars are going.
Unfortunately, their message has gotten buried in the local headlines by the concurrent #TrumpTrial.
(I will update this post as better #video becomes available.)
