Pro Palestinian Activists Want Speaking Role At Democratic Convention

The group representing uncommitted delegates, the Uncommitted National Movement, put in requests with the Democratic National Committee. But with just a few days until Monday’s convention start, it hasn’t been given an answer, and representatives of the group said members are increasingly pessimistic that the request will be accepted.


Three-quarters of a million people in the Democratic presidential primary voted “uncommitted” rather than for President Joe Biden or another candidate. The ballot option offered in some states became a prominent avenue for many Democrats who did not like Biden’s handling of the war and support for Israel to protest.
