The Anti-Israel NGO Network Planning a "March on the Democratic National Convention"
(NGO Monitor) On August 19-22, the Democratic Party will host its convention in Chicago. "March on the DNC" - a loose network of nearly 100 NGOs - intends to protest in Chicago, demanding that Democrats adopt anti-Israel policies. Their central demand is "End U.S. Aid to Israel." On July 22, the group announced: "On August 19th we will march on the DNC for Gaza regardless of who gets nominated for the presidency [and the] Democratic Party leadership switching out their presidential nominee." On April 25, the group tweeted: "The Democratic Party is part of the system that upholds the Zionist occupation of Palestine and drives the imperialist system that oppresses all the people of the world." March on the DNC coalition members include Samidoun, a subsidiary of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terrorist organization, and Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), whose chapters were suspended in November 2023 at Brandeis, Columbia, and George Washington University.
