Protests in Chicago parallel to Democratic National Convention

Washington, Aug 19 (Prensa Latina) While Chicago with extreme security measures prepares for the opening of the Democratic National Convention on Monday, groups of protesters gathered in that US city to demand an end to Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

The demands are even broader, because hundreds of people from different organizations and social movements participate, demanding that United States stop its support for Israel, carry out a comprehensive immigration reform, stop police excesses, incuding protecting reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights.

We are marching for our rights, thousands of people will come, a young woman from California said before the cameras of a local television station.

The protesters also took to the streets of Chicago on Sunday, between Michigan Avenue and Wacker Drive. For participants, many of the campaign agendas are created to seduce voters and then do not materialize in practice.

With great media coverage, the Democratic National Convention will begin on Monday night, when Vice President Kamala Harris will be officially crowned as the party’s candidate for the November elections.
