‘Uncommitted’ Delegates Stage Sit-in Outside DNC, Demand Palestinian Speaking Slot

Joel B. Pollak 22 Aug 2024

CHICAGO, Illinois — The “Uncommitted” movement is staging a sit-in outside the United Center, where the Democratic National Convention is being held, demanding that a Palestinian speaker be added to the schedule.

The sit-in is being led by Abbas Alawieh, co-founder of the movement, who is a delegate from Michigan. He and fellow Uncommitted delegates marched out of the stadium on Thursday night and began a protest after the convention featured the parents of an Israeli-American hostage but refused to allow a pro-Palestinian speaker.

The activists were joined by left-wing members of Congress throughout Thursday night, including Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and others.
