So 'yuge' Palestine Will Be Free' protests are planned for DNC Chicago. [View all]

But when Trump looked certain to win, next to no-one showed up at RNC Milwaukee. So fuck you, and the stooges you rode in on. Y'all are more dishonest than Nader and Stein put together.

Pro-Palestinian protesters vow massive showing at Democratic convention

Democratic leaders hoped that Vice President Kamala Harris’s ascent to the top of the ticket would shrink the protests, since she was not the architect of President Joe Biden’s Gaza policies and has been more vocal in challenging Israel and voicing empathy for Palestinians. But to many activists, Harris has not done nearly enough

“We don’t expect any changes — we’re still anticipating that 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, an amalgamation of more than 200 advocacy groups and community organizations. AbdulQader added, “Unless she clearly takes a stance and says this is not okay … that door is shut.”
