Reports From the DNC, w/ Sarah Lazare & Eman Abdelhadi

As expected, this week's Democratic National Convention saw a variety of protests on the streets outside, mostly from groups demanding an end to the genocide in Gaza. Inside the convention, delegates in the Uncommitted Movement pressed their demand that a Palestinian be allowed to deliver a vetted speech from the main stage. The Democrats turned them down--so they sat in overnight on the sidewalk in front of the convention hall. They may not have been on the program, but the movement's voice was heard, and will continue to be.

Mother Jones ran the speech that Georgia State Rep. Ruwa Romman, who is Palestinian American, intended to deliver. You can read it here.

On the show today we feature a movement media roundtable with two journalists who were on the ground at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago all week. Joining Cayden to discuss the DNC and movement actions around the event are The Nation contributor Sarah Lazare (@sarahlazare) and In These Times contributor Eman Abdelhadi (@emanabdelhadi).
