Pro-Palestinian demonstrators voice opposition to war in Gaza as delegates leave DNC

CHICAGO (AP) — As attendees filtered out of the Democratic National Convention on its final night, they were met with the chants of pro-Palestinian protesters calling for the party to do more to end the war in Gaza. The group yelled “ceasefire now” and “Shame on you” as one woman folded a campaign sign for the Kamala Harris/Tim Walz ticket over her head. The protests in the convention’s final hours Thursday ended much like they began earlier this week — largely peaceful with a family-friendly atmosphere. Occupying the road under the train tracks on Lake Street for close to 30 minutes, demonstrators roared: “We’re young, we’re strong, we’ll rally all night long.”
