1. May Day Weekend
Since May 1, 2011 fell on a Sunday, May Day activities in Chicago spread across the whole weekend. We cover here several of those events: a reenactment of the Haymarket Square tragedy at the location it took place (Randolph and Desplaines) back in 1886; a labor protest at a Wal-Mart store near the cemetery of the Haymarket monument, which then marches to the cemetery; selected scenes from rededication of Haymarket Martyrs monument at Forest Home cemetery in Chicago suburb; a march of rank-and-file workers from Union Park in Chicago to a predominantly Mexican neighborhood (Pilsen) on the South Side.

2. Free Bahrain - Chicago Rally
Hundreds of protesters gathered in Chicago's Daley Plaza on April 29, 2011 to demand an end to the oppression of the people of Bahrain "at the hands of the Bahraini military and the security forces provided by other states of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)." The action was heavily attended by representatives from Chicago area Muslim communities..
