St. Patrick's Day Parades, 2026

On March 14 and 15, Mother Jones was there in Chicago's St. Patrick's Day parades. Here are some images, including a new banner. Always great to to see the crowd's reaction, and to connect past and present. Kudos to the members and apprentices from Bricklayers and Tuckpointers and Roofers who brought their kids and are telling them about this history.

And on Sunday, a cold wet day, our friends at United Roofers Local 11 took her to the Southside St Patrick's event: always marching with Mother Jones -- moving their Local forward by honoring the

past.
