In total, around 211 protesters, driven by progressive organizations, unified to urge an end to the Israel-Hamas conflict.

A mob of demonstrators was observed partaking in civil disobedience by connecting arms and obstructing the entrance to the Democratic National Convention. IfNotNow, a progressive Jewish group, stated that their intent was for those who were inside to notice their peaceful gathering, listen to the songs they sung, and plead for a ceasefire. Our group had someone assigned to approach legislators departing the premises, while the remainder of us planned to carry on singing and praying. Crow claiming he’d been “attacked” by protesters.
