Protests were organized when President Joe Biden was expected to be the Democratic nominee, and even after he withdrew from the race and Vice President Kamala Harris took his place, organizers confirmed they would continue with their plans. The primary demonstrations are scheduled for Monday and Thursday, which are the opening and closing days of the DNC. March on the DNC 2024 is leading these efforts, although multiple groups plan to participate as well. The protests mainly focus on U.S. support for Israel amid its conflict with Hamas, calling for an end to American aid to Israel along with other progressive demands like expanded rights for undocumented immigrants. Organizers are arranging transportation for participants from several key Midwest states crucial to November&#8217;s election, including Michigan and Wisconsin, as uncommitted delegates remain a concern for Democrats. The group claims that Democrats &#8220;are all complicit&#8221; in what they describe as &#8220;genocide in Gaza,&#8221; referring to the ongoing war between Hamas militants and Israel. Demonstrations will occur on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday; those organized by March on the DNC 2024 will take place at noon on Monday and at 5 p.m. on Thursday when Harris is expected to accept her nomination from the party. Protesters have faced challenges with Chicago city officials regarding permits in their efforts to get closer to convention grounds; however, a federal judge recently sided with city officials regarding changes in protest routes that organizers sought permission for. To secure vital states during her campaign, Harris may need to address concerns raised by protesters\u2014she previously engaged with one at a rally in Michigan discussing Gaza earlier this month.
