Pro-Palestinian Protesters Plan 'Largest' Rally In Record During DNC In Chicago

Massive Demonstration

The largest Palestinian community in the United States, located in Cook County where Chicago resides, is planning a major protest during the Democratic National Convention (DNC) to voice their opposition to US support for Israel.

Key Organizer

Hatem Abudayyeh, the national chair of the US Palestinian Community Network, predicts the march on the DNC will be the largest mobilization for Palestine in the city's history.

Prominent Coalition

Abudayyeh is representing a coalition of over 100 groups planning to protest the War in Gaza at the upcoming DNC.

Target Audience

Thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters are expected to attend the DNC in Chicago to demand an end to US support for Israel and the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

Expected Size

Protest organizers predict it will be the largest protest for Palestinian rights in Chicago's history, with tens of thousands of people expected to participate.

Legal Challenges

Last month, organizers of two planned pro-Palestinian protest marches during the DNC filed a federal lawsuit accusing the city of violating their First Amendment rights by restricting their protest routes.

Security Concerns

Pro-Palestinian protesters want to know what the security footprint will be around the United Center during the DNC, expressing concerns about potential police presence and restrictions.

Rival Perspectives

Jewish groups have raised concerns about the protests during the DNC, with the Anti-Defamation League accusing some pro-Palestinian organizations of using "overheated rhetoric."

Ongoing Events

There are protests planned every day during the DNC hosted by numerous organizations and coalitions in support of Palestine, each with their own specific demands and objectives.
