Chicago, August 23 (RHC)-- As the Democratic National Convention came to an end on Thursday night, protests continued with thousands of people taking to Chicago’s streets for the March on the DNC. 

Protesters rallied into the night as Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic presidential nomination on the DNC stage.  Demonstrators had planned to march toward the convention site but were blocked by hundreds of police in riot gear who forced the march to disperse. 

Meanwhile, delegates from the “Uncommitted Movement" locked arms and walked inside the DNC halls wearing Palestinian keffiyehs, one day after the DNC refused to allow a Palestinian American speaker to take the main stage.  Uncommitted delegates circled the halls of the United Center arm in arm.

The powerful United Auto Workers union is the latest group to condemn the exclusion of Palestinian voices from the DNC, saying in a statement: “If we want the war in Gaza to end, we can’t put our heads in the sand or ignore the voices of the Palestinian Americans in the Democratic Party.”
