CODEPINK, as part of the Coalition to March on the DNC will be bringing the demands of the people within sight and sound of the Democratic National Convention. Specifically, we'll be mobilizing thousands of people from across the country to demand an end to U.S. funding for Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza! The coalition has been in a legal battle with the city of Chicago over permits for the march. The route proposed by the city is demoralizing — one mile long — which would not even allow the entire protest to march together seeing as the turnout is estimated to be about 2 miles long!
Just a week ago, Israel bombed a school in Gaza using U.S. bombs that mutilate bodies upon exploding. The carnage was so brutal that family members were forced to bury bags of body parts that equaled the weight of one person, not knowing if the contents contained even a piece of their loved ones. We have every right to be in the streets, rallying for an end to this nightmare that has been successful due to U.S. partnership with Israel. The coalition needs the support of all those who understand the democratic right to protest and resist to send a letter to Mayor Brandon Johnson demanding he stand with us as we fight to rally effectively.
