The opening day of the Democratic National Convention on Monday will feature its first-ever panel on Palestinian rights, a result of persistent grassroots organizing against U.S. support for Israel's assault on the Gaza Strip.

“We will keep pushing for our party’s leadership to break away from its current financing of Israel’s horrific assault on Gaza and military rule over Palestinians,” said the co-founders of the Uncommitted National Movement.

    we remain hopeful that they and the Harris campaign will honor our request for Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan and a Palestinian-American to be granted speaking time from the convention stage

    Dr. Haj-Hassan was a doctor working at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, Gaza during the war

    Monday’s panel will also feature… Hala Hijazi, a Democratic organizer who has had several family members killed in Gaza by Israel’s military; Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison; and former U.S. Rep. Andy Levin (D-Mich.), a Jewish progressive who was unseated in the 2022 midterms by an AIPAC-backed candidate.
