My Third Protest

Sorry for not posting earlier. I had some things going on with college, my job and other things that could be an obstacle.

The protest went as well as expected for the third time around. I was the leader again since I came up with a few new chants. Although during the middle of the protest, I lost my voice (more like stained it) and could not shout as loud. Thankfully, another member took the lead to let me recover. We chanted so loud that the hotel next door took attention and I saw more people approaching us and joining our little circle to participate.

For those who pass our protest and reading this, I want to say thank you for participating and getting our message across. Even though it was only about ten seconds, it really did show that citizens of Chicago are paying attention to our cause and for that I want to say thank you. I also like it when people join our circle and do a conga line pretending its a dance. That made my night.

Other then that, I'm also working on a new article for this web sight known as "Working for Peanuts". (Its a working title.) Its an article about minimum wage and why we need to increase it. Too many people are living on the edge of poverty because the minimum wage is not enough to help struggling families in this economy. Its still in the working stages but I also want some feed back on this issue. Do you think the minimum wage is enough or do you think that we need to increase minimum wage? Please leave comments below and tell me what you think.

I also want to tell you that I will be participating in a rally to support women in the workforce. In America today a women makes about 77 cents to a mans dollar and the R.O.C is holding a rally for equal pay. It would be held at Daily Plaza at around noon. I will be reporting on it and give you details of the affair. With that in mind, I bid you all an a-do.
