Protests for Palestine
During the 2024 Democratic National Convention, the issue of Palestine and U.S. support for Israel's actions in Gaza took center stage. Protests, including a sit-in by Uncommitted delegates, demanded a Palestinian voice be heard.
Unity in the Movement
Activist Eman Abdelhadi discusses the unity and coalitional efforts of the Palestine Solidarity Movement, highlighting the importance of pushing for change within the Democratic Party.
Gaza Solidarity
Despite attempts to silence discussions on Gaza, the issue looms large over the convention. The movement aims to continue pushing for an end to the genocide and U.S. support for Israel, regardless of the election outcome.
Building Power
The movement focuses on grassroots organizing, direct actions, and building institutional support. Calls for material support, like a weapons embargo, aim to shift the U.S.'s relationship with the world away from empire and domination.
Demands for Peace
The movement's demands for a weapons embargo are rooted in U.S. and international law. Activists stress the importance of transitioning to a more peaceful and democratic relationship with the world, starting with ending support for Israel.
