The Coalition to March on the DNC is organizing a protest at the Democratic National Convention being held in Chicago on August 19th - 22nd, 2024. We are also organizing actions leading up to the Democratic National Convention to build unity and momentum. 

The March on the DNC will be a march for Palestine. Our main demand will be:

  • Stand with Palestine! End U.S. Aid to Israel

We will also be bringing together the demands of the people’s movements to the door of the Democratic party:

  • Money for Jobs, School, Healthcare, Housing, and Environment, Not for War!

  • Immigrant Rights and Legalization for All Undocumented Workers!

  • Defend LGBTQ & Reproductive Rights!

  • Defend the right to unionize and strike!

  • Stop police crimes! Community control of the police now!

  • Justice, Peace, and Equality!

There are three levels of organizational endorsement: 

  • Coalition Members

    • Actively take up and organize to bring people out on the 19th, and hopefully the 22nd

    • Participate in national meetings (monthly, then increasing in frequency leading up to the march)

    • Have the option to participate in one of our working committees, which will meet more frequently

      • Media & Outreach

      • Security & Logistics

      • Fundraising

      • Program

      • March on the RNC

  • Supporters

    • Respond to calls for mobilization & support

    • Support our coalition’s fight for a permit

About the march: 
Almost every single year for the last few decades, the US Gross Domestic Product has gone up. Despite that, we see decreased public spending towards our essential needs, even as politicians increase spending for the military and police. We’re told that the Democrats are better than Republicans, but their actions demonstrate that they are just as aligned with the Republicans when it comes to war spending. 

When we say money for jobs, housing, health, and education, we are voicing the demands of the people who are supposed to have a voice in the government that represents them. They are basic and legitimate needs that we with the March on the DNC Coalition believes everyone across this country and the globe deserves. 

The fight for permits: 
Right now, the Coalition to March on the DNC is demanding a permit recognizing the right of working and oppressed people to protest for justice within sight and sound of the Democratic National Convention. We are organizing a family friendly march and we need permits to ensure the safety of participants and that the police respect our event.

On August 18th, we applied for event permits with the Parks District and Transportation Department. Our application was immediately denied on what we believe is an unfair premise that permits are not currently being granted. 

We do not believe that events like Lollapalooza, Riot Fest, or the DNC don't already have park or street permits for next year. We are filing FOIA requests to view the City's response to other permit applications such as for Lollapalooza and the DNC itself. If necessary, we will proceed with a lawsuit. The Democratic Party is bringing thousands of people into the city for an event, and we plan to bring thousands as well. Bringing people together cannot be something only the rich and powerful are allowed to do.
