"Čikaška sedmerica" – Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, David Dellinger, Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis, John Froines in Lee Weiner – so bili aktivisti, ki so se posluževali različnih metod, a so imeli skupen cilj: končati vojno v Vietnamu. Leta 1968 so – ne da bi se o tem med seboj dogovorili – na čelu svojih različnih organizacij odpotovali v Chicago, da bi s protesti pred Demokratsko nacionalno konvencijo pritegnili pozornost javnosti in medijev k svojim ciljem. Ker niso dobili dovoljenj za shod, so se protesti končali s prelivanjem krvi in nasiljem, ki ga je – po njihovih trditvah – sprožila čikaška policija. Obtoženi so bili zarote in načrtovanja izgredov, sojenje proti njim pa se je vleklo kar šest mesecev.
