Photo with Added Text: On the west side of Walnut, south of 12th Street in Kansas City, Missouri: An "older" man (but probably not as old as me) wearing a black, hooded, zippered sweatshirt over insulated overalls emerges on a sidewalk from beneath a lot of aluminum scaffolding. His demeanor is stern. He's walking towards the camera, holding a hand-made sign with black, blue and white letters on white poster board. The sign reads, "STOP ICE MURDERS | JUSTICE FOR RENEE." There are a lot more people behind him, also carrying signs. In the first row behind him, two young girls bundled in snow gear. The first carries a sign reading, "Fund Schools | Not ICE." Behind, a smaller girls lifts a colorful hand-made sign reading, "ICE OUT." A woman right behind the girls, in a knit cap, carries her own sign reading, "KC Schools | Not ICE." A middle-aged man beside them carries a sign that is only partially visible, but it reads, in full, "ICE OUT FOR GOOD." The signs behind the front row of demonstrators are blocked by intervening marchers or beyond the photograph's depth of field and not in focus. To the right, another photographer, wearing a parka, carries a shoulder bag and camera. The demonstration was promoted by the Missouri Workers Center. 23 January 2023
At least 200 demonstrators marched through downtown #KansasCity today (23 January '26) in 5℉ (don't laugh, Minnesotans; we consider that quite cold down here) to show their solidarity with Minnesota at large and Minneapolis in particular.
