Chicago joined coordinated protests across the country on Sunday against rollbacks on diversity, equity and inclusion — particularly an executive order aimed at strengthening state and local law

Isabella Mason was 13 when Floyd was killed. As COVID and protests raged outside, she stayed in her bedroom in East New York, constantly scrolling on social media. “There was always more news,” she said. “There was always more progress in the social movement being made.”

Demonstrators hold a peaceful rally touting gains made in racial justice since 2020, and calling for unity of purpose in opposing Trump administration rollbacks of diversity and equity policies and continued accountability for police who engage in improper conduct.
