Chuck DarwinThere are at least six major <a href="https://c.im/tags/protests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#protests</a> planned on the streets of Chicago during the Democratic National Convention. The biggest is planned for the first day, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Monday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Monday</a>, when “tens of thousands” are expected to march just blocks from the United Center, where Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, will give their acceptance speeches.The “family-friendly march” is organized under a pro-Palestinian umbrella coalition that includes groups devoted to a variety of causes. Organizers are busing in protesters from Michigan, Minnesota, Indiana and Wisconsin, and activists are also coming in from New York and California, too.For the activists organizing for the DNC, any hesitation about whether to be disruptive diminished soon after Harris confronted protesters at a rally in Michigan on her battleground state tour.“Everyone’s voice matters, but I am speaking now. I am speaking now,” she said to the demonstrators who interrupted her address.The interaction is fueling the pro-Palestinian protesters as they gear up for the convention.“After she yelled at protesters, the blush started to come off the rose,” said <a href="https://c.im/tags/Joe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Joe</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Iosbaker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Iosbaker</a>, a protest organizer and a member of the 🔸Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Oppression. 🔸The group has been behind 🔸48 protests in Chicago, nearly one every week, since the Oct. 7 attack🔸 on Israel that erupted in the war in Gaza.The switch-up at the top of the Democratic ticket had prompted a conversation in the pro-Palestinian movement about its tactics. Harris, who called for a cease-fire earlier than some others in the party, made some activists wonder about taking a softer approach with the new Democratic nominee.“There is admittedly a change of tone and for many, a sense of a breath of fresh air,” said <a href="https://c.im/tags/Linda" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linda</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Loew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Loew</a>, an organizer for 🔸Bodies Outside of Unjust Laws coalition, 🔸which has more than 40 organizations endorsing a march in Chicago on Sunday ahead of the convention. But “rhetoric and promises are simply not enough. We certainly are glad and welcome the support of any and all Democrats who say that they’re for any of these issues, but we need to see action.”<a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/18/dnc-protests-gaza-kamala-harris-00174497" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/18/dnc-protests-gaza-kamala-harris-00174497</a>
