Republican gubernatorial candidate Jesse Sullivan delivered a speech at the start of the protest, followed with a warm reaction from the concurring crowd.

The parking lot of the Skokie Village Hall full of participants.

Illinois Standing Against Tyranny, an organization that stands against tyranny in local and federal government, stood a sign up in the snow.

The rabbi speaks in front of cameras and the crowd, relating current events to Jewish history, both recent and that documented in the Torah.

COVID-19 vaccination mandates have also caused rifts in the medical professionals.

This poster alluded to the pro-choice slogan "My body, my choice," which surrounds issues of a woman's right to make the decision to medically terminate her pregnancy.

The classic picket poster style carried numerous messages.

A local rabbi who spoke and chose not to disclose his name at the time of publishing with a sign that reads, "Never again is now."

Protesters banded together at behind the main speakers.

Themes of signs ranged from morality to historical connections.

In a @dudewithsign style, one woman carried a sign to "Unmask our children."

One participant stands in a small pile of snow, lifting up a sign that reads, "Medical choice is a human right."

A mother wraps one arm around her daughter and holds a sign that reads, "My child, my choice. No more mandates" in the other.
