DNC delegates from the Uncommitted Movement are staging a sit-in protest outside the United Center calling for a pro-Palestinian speaker.Delegates from the Uncommitted Movement ended their sit-in after roughly 24 hours Thursday. They were calling for the Democratic National Convention to include a pro-Palestinian speaker.
On night three of the Democratic National Convention, parents of American hostage Hersh Goldberg in the Oct. 7 attack in Israel spoke on stage, pleading for the release of those held captive in Gaza. "The least they could do is allow a Palestinian-American, or somebody who is directly affected by this war, to speak from the main stage of the DNC. That's the least to share that perspective," Rhode Island delegate June Rose said.SEE ALSO:"We have a number of names to be submitted: potential speakers who are elected officials, Democratic elected officials who already have their speech written and are ready to go," Alawieh said.
