Protesters and activists rally in Chicago on Day 1 of the DNC

Leaders of the March on the DNC 2024 told reporters that 15,000 showed up to make hay against the Democratic Party.

But now there’s a new leader atop the ticket — Vice President Kamala Harris, 59 — and many of the protesters seemed torn about what to make of her. Boardman waived around a sign that read “Genocide Joe’s legacy: The butcher of Gaza.” She was very displeased with Democrats’ plans to honor Biden’s legacy on Day 1 of the convention.But that’s not enough to deter her from voting for Harris in November.

Many of the typical anti-Israel signs dominated the rally such as ones claiming that “Democrats fund genocide of the Palestinians” and others suggesting that Israeli leadership were “fascists.” One of those counter-protesters, Richard Levik, 64, described the nearby anti-Israel crowd, which dramatically outnumbered his side, as “terrorists.”
