HAPPENING NOW: There’s a sit-in taking place right outside the United Center. They’re demanding a ceasefire, and want the DNC to welcome a Palestinian to speak on stage. In the video, Michigan's Abbas Alawieh, an uncommitted delegate, is speaking. 🎥: The TRiiBE

Ilhan Omar: "If you really wanted a ceasefire, you'd just stop sending the weapons. It is that simple" Spot on.

Good morning from Chicago, a city with 85,000 Palestinians, none of whom are welcome on the DNC stage

I support the Uncommitted National Movement 🌺 call for a Palestinian voice on the DNC stage. Every life is valuable, whether American, Palestinian, or Israeli. Stand up for #notanotherbomb #ceasefirenow #LetPalestinespeak #Sitin4ArmsEmbargo

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. If we want peace, if we want real democracy, and if we want to win this election, the Democratic Party must allow a Palestinian

Jim Zogby: "I was the last person to speak on the DNC podium on Palestinian Human Rights. That was 1988." (He was advisor to Jesse Jackson's presidential run that pushed for Palestine in DNC platform) not another bomb. arms embargo now. sign sign sign: bit.ly/nabpetition

The United Autoworkers have over 125,000 members in Michigan alone. They are now pushing for a Palestinian-American to be given a speaking slot at the Democratic National Convention tonight.

“This whole time, we were told this would be 1968, but turns out, it was 1964. People are recreating the approaches of Fannie Lou Hamer & Ella Baker. We're in a civil rights moment & its time to catch up. This is a time for solidarity. Now, more than ever." IL Sen Robert Peters

I believe we can be the party that honors diversity, inclusion, and justice. We must listen to all the members of our coalition. The voice of the Palestinian community deserves to be heard on the Democratic stage. #NotAnotherBomb

UPDATE: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson & New York City Comptroller Brad Lander are now also calling for a Palestinian to be allowed to speak tonight at the Democratic National Convention. A powerful sit-in is underway by Uncommitted delegates who have so-far been denied a speaker.

this is who is leading Uncommitted National Movement 🌺's sit in for #NotAnotherBomb outside of the DNC. this is nowhere near the beginning or the end for this movement.

Ahead of the final night of the DNC in Chicago, every story on the front page of suntimes.com right now has to do with Palestinians

Former Congressmember Andy Levin says AIPAC's massive spending in political races is a "threat to the soul of the Democratic Party." "It’s outrageous that they’re using money from Republican billionaires to decide who wins Democratic primaries." democracynow.org/2024/8/21/andy…

Since 2006, Chicago communities have been fighting for a voice in how CPS is run and I have been a proud part of the movement for an elected school board. Now, I'm running to represent the West Side on our first ever elected school board to fight for equity in public education.

After years of organizing, for the first time ever Chicago will vote to democratically elect our School Board on Nov 5th. I’m running on the West Side’s D5 to fight for equity & for a world class pre-k thru 12th grade school system within walking distance in every neighborhood.

Still no school libraries or school librarians, tho.

After decades of organizing for more investment in public schools in Black and Brown neighborhoods, I’m running to represent the West Side’s district 5 on Chicago’s first ever elected School Board. Join us for a campaign party on Sept 9th! RSVP here: bit.ly/jituparty
