Despite Frigid Temps, Dozens March For 'Unity In The Community'

(CBS) -- A march through downtown Chicago, on one of the coldest nights of the year.

They're calling for "unity in the community."

A real feel temperature in the single digits didn't keep about 100 people from taking their message to the streets.

Jeanette Brown came up from Harvey to join the group, walking from Federal Plaza to the Thompson Center.

The group was diverse, but their message called for unity. U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin joined them, saying they were marching for members of minority communities and members of the working poor who are demanding higher wages.

"We are all in this together," he said.
