'Free Palestine!': Thousands march through Chicago before DNC begins

Hours before the Democratic National Convention officially began on Monday, Aug. 19, thousands of people gathered in Chicago’s Union Park for a rally and march organized by the Coalition to March on the DNC. “Democratic Party leadership switching out their presidential nominee does not wash the blood of over 50,000 Palestinians off their hands,” the coalition’s website states. “It is a matter of historical urgency that all organizations who fight for the rights of working and oppressed people in the US join us in this demonstration to stand in solidarity with Palestine.” The Real News reports from the streets of Chicago, speaking with march organizers and attendees.
