Pro-Palestinian protesters are demanding a permanent ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas, saying Vice President Kamala Harris will have to work hard to win their vote.

“She will not take a legitimate stance. So we have to bring Kamala Harris to the negotiating table first and make a legitimate concession to win over the Arab and Muslim voters,” said pro-Palestinian protester Nael. “You can’t just say cliches.”

Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris arrived in Chicago on Sunday for the Democratic Party Convention.

For Monday’s protest, the city has allowed the group to take a one-mile march route from Union Park starting at noon. Protesters will march from Union Park to Park 578, just a few blocks north of the United Center.
