Pro-Palestinian Protesters Vow Massive Showing at Democratic Convention
(Washington Post) Yasmeen Abutaleb - Tens of thousands of pro-Palestinian demonstrators are expected at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Aug. 19 to 22. "There will be tens of thousands of people in the streets," said Hatem Abudayyeh, national chair for the U.S. Palestinian Community Network and a spokesman for the Coalition to March on the DNC. On July 21, when President Biden dropped out of the race, the coalition put out a statement saying, "When it comes to the genocide in Gaza there is no difference between Biden, Harris, or any of the likely candidates for the nomination."
