Activist Surge: Democratic National Convention in Chicago

Thousands of activists will gather in Chicago for the Democratic National Convention, calling attention to issues like abortion rights, economic injustice, and the Gaza war. Vice President Kamala Harris will energize support, while progressive activists focus on immediate cease-fire in Gaza, reproductive rights, and financial transparency.

Thousands of activists are converging on Chicago this week for the Democratic National Convention. The focus includes abortion rights, economic injustice, and the ongoing Gaza conflict.

Vice President Kamala Harris is energizing crowds as she steps up for the Democratic nomination. Despite her influence, progressive activists remain steadfast in their mission to highlight global and domestic issues.

Drawing lessons from the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, activists predict bigger crowds and more robust demonstrations in Chicago, which has a rich history of social activism.
