A large coalition of progressive allies are on the ground in Chicago protesting Big Banks and CEO bonuses.

Dubbed the "Showdown in Chicago", thousands of people from labor unions, community organizations, and progressive policy campaigns have gathered to demonstrate against the greed of the financial institutions and their use of taxpayer bailout cash.  

Check out the AFL-CIO's take on the event over at their blog, and follow all the action (including great photos) on twitter using the hashtag #abashowdown.
