CHICAGO — Protestors have one last day to spread their message to a global audience as the Democratic National Convention comes to a conclusion Thursday.

Two more demonstrations will take place Thursday, both starting at Union Park.

Ending the Gaza war has been the protestors main message every day this week. They will have one more chance Thursday to voice their opposition to the role the United States is playing in the Middle East conflict.

A sit-in occurred outside the United Center Wednesday night. A group of uncommitted delegates said it was protesting a lack of a Palestinian voice.

The delegates said the DNC denied their request for a Palestinian-American speaker on stage. Congresswoman Delia Ramirez expressed support for them in a social media post and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar briefly joined the group.

Early Wednesday, about 1,000 people protested the Biden Administration for supplying weapons to Israel’s government for the war. They rallied in Union Park then marched, without a permit, toward Park #578 — but police blocked them from entering because a pro-Israel event was taking place in the park near Washington and Damen.

Palestinian-Americans, Arab-Americans and Muslim organizations made up the Chicago Coalition for Justice in Palestine. Many in the crowd were families pushing their children in strollers.

CPD Supt. Larry Snelling was also present. It was the most peaceful protest so far this week.

On the DNC’s first day, dozens of protestors broke through a security fence near the United Center. On Tuesday, police made nearly 60 arrests after clashing with protestors outside the Israeli Consulate.

On Wednesday night, a CPD spokesperson reported no arrests.

Thursday’s two protests will begin at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.

After more than a year of planning, Chicago is at the center of the political spotlight this week as host of the 2024 Democratic National Convention.

Day 3 Recap:

The convention runs through Thursday. Chicago has hosted Democrats 12 times, the last being nearly 30 years ago when President Bill Clinton was nominated for a second term.
