Huge effigies of Biden and Binyamin Netanyahu have been hoisted overhead as protesters marched on the convention venue, Hugh Tomlinson writes from Chicago.

“Biden, Harris, you can’t hide/ We charge you with genocide,” demonstrators chanted, as smoke bombs were released to the beat of drums. Some militant activist groups have vowed to “shut down the DNC for Gaza” this week, and the protests are being watched by hundreds of police while helicopters circle overhead.
Protesters said that the change on the Democratic ticket had not shifted their stance, vowing not to vote for Harris in November without a halt in the Israeli offensive, even if it means handing the White House to Trump.

In 2023, an estimated 6.3 million children under five died, 2.9 million of them in the WHO African Region. This is equivalent to five children under 5 years of age dying every minute. Two thirds of these deaths can be attributed to preventable causes. 4:02:01

Democracy means telling our elected officials what we need from there. Our voices can be heard with more than a vote - which is to say, pushing Harris to move on this issue is not the same as a vote for Trump. Thank you, organizers and speakers, for your work leading up to this day.

*¡¡Gloria a Dios!!,🙏 Ahora puedo retribuir a la gente de mi comunidad y también apoyar las obras de Dios. Invertí $9,000 y recibí mi pago de $34,000 cada siete días, Dios bendiga a la Sra. Susan B Hassan*

[@MelissaBarnes-e6f]

¿CÓMO por favor? Sé que es posible, te agradecería si pudieras mostrarme cómo hacerlo.

[@FelicitaWilson]

👏Llega a los 100.000 hoy. Estoy realmente agradecido por todo el conocimiento y las pepitas que me habéis brindado durante los ultimos meses. Comenzó con 20k en agosto de 2023.

[@JanethGraham]

Después de recaudar hasta 75k negociando con la señora Susan B Hassan, compré una casa nueva y un auto aquí en Estados Unidos y también pagué la cirugía de mi hijo (Sergio). Gloria a Dios.shalom..

[@MarjorieTiller-r8i]

Que Dios bendiga los servicios de Susan B Hassan, ella ha cambiado miles de vidas en todo el mundo (Estados Unidos, Colombia, Argentina, México, Ecuador, España, Perú y muchos lugares) que un buen nombre es mejor que la plata o el oro.

El gobierno realmente ha dicho que las cosas son más difíciles para sus ciudadanos, y no podemos sentarnos y soportar todas las consecuencias del mal gobierno. Es obvio que nos dirigimos hacia la inflación; siempre son los pobres los que reciben el golpe.
