Voices from the Streets of Chicago: DNC Protesters Call for Gaza Ceasefire & Economic Justice

Support our work: _Democracy Now!_ is in Chicago for the 2024 Democratic National Convention, where protesters have actions planned throughout the week. The demonstrations kicked off on Sunday, on the eve of the convention, with the March for Bodies Outside Unjust Laws, which was organized by a coalition of several different activist groups to demand action on reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights and an end to the war on Gaza. We hear from protesters on the ground who say they will withhold their votes in the presidential election until the Democratic Party commits to reversing the Biden administration’s policy of “warmongering.“ Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on over 1,500 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.
