"That’s unacceptable to us. This is not over," said Abbas Alawieh, co-founder of the Uncommitted National Movement. In contrast, Jon Polin and Rachel Goldberg, whose son Hersh Goldberg-Polin was at a music festival when the Palestinian resistance group Hamas attacked last October 7, took the stage at the convention in Chicago on Wednesday.
Underlining support from President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, Polin said they are"both working tirelessly for a hostage and ceasefire deal." Uncommitted, a national movement that started in Michigan, secured 30 delegates for the convention and has sought to urge Harris and President Joe Biden to change their policy of supporting Israel's war on Gaza. The sit-in is their latest attempt to urge the Democratic Party to give more voice to the anti-war movement at the convention.
