On January 2, 2009, some 4,000 supporters of the people of Gaza rallied at Tribune Plaza on Chicago's Michigan Avenue and then marched across the Michigan Ave. Bridge to hold a protest in front of the Israeli Consulate on E. Wacker Drive. They could not fit everyone into the cleared street on the block in front of the Consulate, so huge was the demonstration.
