Rochester Indymedia was in Chicago from May 18th to the 21st. Below are some reports from the anti-NATO demonstrations happening in Chicago! Chicago Indymedia put An open call to grassroots reporters to "support progressive grassroots journalists in your efforts to cover the action and the issues in Chicago this spring. Our model is well-tested: grassroots progressive media convergence spaces convened by Indymedia collectives and their partners across the planet, from Genoa to Quebec, and the burgeoning social media tools that have helped get the word out about actions from Occupy Wall Street to Tahrir Square."
Check out this awesome fact sheet about why people are protesting. Don't get caught up only in the argument that the reason why people are protesting is to protect their rights--look deeper. NATO is a criminal organization that commits war crimes in the name of Greed and Capitalism.
Check out Chicago Indymedia's YouTube channel NATOINDYMEDIA with lots of video coverage. Chicago Indymedia put together four days of half hour coverage around the anti-NATO protests: 5/17, 5/18, 5/19, 5/20, 5/21, & 5/22.
