📢 Join us to March on the Democratic National Convention! 🌍 Stand with Palestine and demand an end to US aid to Israel! The democrats have failed us on TOO MANY FRONTS, so we march to demand:
Thousands are moving to the streets to begin our march on the DNC. We will be heard! We will be seen! It is our right to protest and that's what we plan to do!
"The DNC represents genocide and war. Democrats must immediately end the U.S. funded Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people, let humanitarian aid into Gaza, and stop arming and the racist terrorist state that is Israel” -Nazek Sankari, cochair of the March on DNC and USPCN
“I have spent my entire adult life fighting anti LGBTQ bills and attacks against my community. Show me a republican that puts forth an anti trans bill, I’ll show you a democrat that signs the dotted line” - Serena, cofounder of New Orleans Queer Trans Community Action Project
Genocide Joe Biden has stepped down from running for President as the Democratic Party nominee. His decision doesn't change the policies of Democratic Party leadership, specifically their support of the genocide in Palestine, so our movement must continue to apply pressure. 1/2
The March on the DNC is a March for Palestine! Along with all our demands, we will make it clear that Democratic Party leaders must end US aid to Israel!

UPDATE: Port-a-potties WILL be provided at Union Park for the Rally and March on the DNC, but the city is restricting their placement within the park. Seven port-a-potties will be available in the eastern corner of the park, behind the field house.
We were out this morning canvassing in Union Park & surrounding neighborhood inviting the community to join us for the March on the DNC! We'll be saturating communities across the city with information about our marches every day until the 19th! Join us!

In addition to demanding an End to U.S. Aid to Israeli Genocide and Occupation, the Coalition to March on the DNC is united around the demand to Stop Police Crimes and for Community Control of the Police Now!
Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, and organized our conference! Yesterday we had over 75 organizations and over 450 attendees to plan, unite, and prepare for the historic march on the DNC!
URGENT ACTION:
COME OUT TOMORROW to CITY HALL at 4 PM to demand our right to rally for Palestine at the DNC! The City has granted our permit for Union Park, but they've denied us a stage, amplified sound, port-a-potties, or tents, essentially denying us our right to rally.
The People united will never be defeated!
These six points unite our historic coalition of over 200 organizations from all across the Peoples movements.
URGENT ACTION NEEDED
Call TODAY to demand that Chicago's Chief Operating Officer reverse the decision to deny our coalition the right to rally. The City has denied us access to a stage, amplified sound, port-a-potties and tents, essentially denying us a right to our rally.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS. We're calling a demonstration May 19th at 3 PM here in Chicago bringing together the struggles to free torture survivors, the wrongfully convicted, and ALL political prisoners with the struggle to free Palestine! Free Them All! Free Palestine!
Join us Friday, 5/3 at Union Park as we march for International Workers’ Day!
Leading up to August we will continue to rally around our central demands that unify us. We must defend labor and immigrant rights, and demand an end to the genocide in Palestine. Come out!

🚨URGENT:
PACK THE COURT at 1:30 pm TODAY to demand the City’s decision to deny our coalition the right to rally in Union Park be reversed! The City has denied us access to a stage, amplified sound, port-a-potties and tents, essentially denying us a right to our rally.
Genocide Joe boasts to be Israel's biggest supporter, saying Israel was saved by The United States. It's unbelievable to think what he is actually proud of, the genocide of a people and destruction of their homes, schools, and hospitals

Our rally will begin at 5PM before we march at 6:30PM within sight and sound of the DNC.
This International Women’s Day was about standing with the women of Palestine, raising our demands on the federal government, and uniting the movements for liberation around the world.

‼️🚨No Business As Usual! Protest DNC Briefing in Chicago! 🚨‼️The DNC will be holding a media event at Garfield park conservatory on Tuesday 5/21, and we will be there to protest and raise our demands for a free Palestine and an end to U.S. aid to Israel!
Our coalition is also united around the demand to Defend LGBTQ, Women’s, and Reproductive Rights. You can read from our unity statement below on why we’re bringing this demand to the steps of the DNC in August 2024:
On Monday August 19 in Chicago, the Coalition to March on the DNC rallied together our broad mass movement and united around a central demand to End U.S. Aid to Israel!
It is our first amendment right to march within sight and sound of our political target. The route the City is offering us will provide nowhere near enough space for the tens of thousands of people who will be coming to Chicago to protest the DNC.

says that we need a revolution in this country! He says the ruling class wants Black people on plantations, still, and the only reason we're not is because wherever there's oppression, there's resistance.
#BlackLivesMatter
Our coalition is committed to the defense of immigrants, and we demand legal recognition for all undocumented workers. We believe the actions of Democratic & Republican politicians, past and present, have fueled the so-called migrant crisis. As put forward in our unity statement:
This morning at the United Center, organizations from the Coalition to March on the DNC ‘greeted’ the Executive Committee and Council Chairs of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) with a protest.
CALLING ALL ORGS: There’s still time to support the March on the DNC and spread the word about your work by signing up to table at the march!
Tables and Chairs will be provided for setup in Union Park on August 19.

Please read and share widely!
FILL THE COURTROOM!
The Coalition to March on the DNC is asking members and supporters to join us in Federal Court, where the judge may rule on our August 19th protest route.
The route must be longer, and it must stay on major streets!
On August 19th we will march on the DNC for Gaza regardless of who gets nominated for the presidency.
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 to stand in solidarity with Palestine.
We are rallying ahead of our permit appeal hearing to demand the City of Chicago uphold our democratic right to march within sight and sound of the DNC. We expect the city to respect our right to protest!
The March on the DNC Conference is here! Stay tuned for live updates in our twitter feed, or visit our IG page (marchondnc2024) to view the livestream. All Power to the People!
CALLING ALL ARTISTS!
Starting March 1st, in the build up to our national conference on April 13th, we’re calling on artists across the country to create and post their work uplifting the demands of our coalition that we plan to bring to the DNC this August!
As we prepare to raise our demands on the federal government this Sunday, join us for an art build at the Chicago Alliance office at 6353 S Cottage Grove Ave at 5 PM this Saturday. All are welcome!
This morning we held a press conference prior to our hearing appealing the rejection of our permit to march on the DNC in August by the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT).
Join our Coalition on Monday the 18th at 8 AM at 400 W Superior St, as we rally for the people's right to march within sight and sound of the DNC in August!
ART FOR THE PEOPLE! The DNC is calling on high school students to submit poster and button designs to be used at their convention. We reject the attempts by the DNC to create a false impression that Chicago’s youth welcome and embrace their presence this August.
"The masses from Black, Indigenous, and Latino communities representing issues like immigrant rights, police crimes, and the right to unionize will be gathering here to demand the U.S. stop all aid to Israel, stop the genocide, stand with Palestine, and free Palestine."
☎️ CALLS NEEDED!
We have made significant progress in our campaign to win a permit to march within sight and sound of the DNC, but the fight is not over!
In this video from our International Women’s Day March, Marcie Pedraza of UAW Local 1 speaks on their resolution for a ceasefire, ending all military aid to Israel, and standing with Palestinian trade unionists. We need money for jobs, healthcare, and education, NOT FOR WAR!
As a coalition, we understand that ending bipartisan wars of exploitation is essential winning justice and liberation. So, we will raise the demand for Money for Jobs, Schools, Healthcare, Housing, and the Environment, Not for War when march on the DNC in August.
