Democracy Now! | Uncommitted Delegates Stage Sit-In for Palestinian Representation at DNC





Delegates from the Uncommitted National Movement, joined by their allies, staged a sit-in protest Wednesday night outside the convention hall in Chicago. This action came after the DNC denied their request to allow a Palestinian American to speak onstage while granting time to the family members of an Israeli American hostage. The sit-in amplified frustrations over what many see as a continued imbalance in the representation of voices at the convention, particularly on issues relating to the Middle East. Protesters expressed their concerns about the lack of inclusion and the silencing of Palestinian perspectives on the national stage.
