Occupy Chicago by Dave Wittekind







November 7, 2011
A couple of the sketches are from a rally co-sponsored by Occupy Chicago and various senior citizen’s rights groups which was held at the Federal Plaza on Nov. 7th to protest proposed cuts to Medicare and Social Security. The gathering, which featured brief appearances by Sen. Dick Durbin and other local politicians (notably absent was other state senator Mark Kirk), was followed by a march and sit-in which blocked traffic at the intersection of Clark and Jackson until police peacefully arrested some of the protesters in what amounted to a staged act of civil disobedience.

Occupy Glasgow: Wil Freeborn



On Thursday I went by George square to do a sketch of the occupy Glasgow protest. It was a lot smaller than I first thought it would be for I was sure Glasgow's socialist past would give the demonstration lots of support. As it was I started drawing this on the bench near people on their lunch break eating their sandwiches. At the time there were loads of press as members of the Glasgow council popped by for a meeting, then oddly a scuffle sparked off when a guy in a suit got upset with something. They gave a short speech where they mentioned they would move soon to the west end.
