A pro-Palestine protester disrupted the Democratic National Convention (DNC) delegate party at Navy Pier in Chicago on Sunday. During the event, the protester interrupted the proceedings by shouting, “The Harris administration keeps funding Israel.”
This disruption occurred following a call to action from various protest groups urging supporters to mobilise at the DNC event.

An X user shared the video of the incident and wrote, “Pro-Palestine protester disrupts the DNC delegate party at Navy Pier in Chicago. ‘The Harris administration keeps funding Israel,’ the person shouted. The incident happened after protesters sent out a message to “mobilize” at the event as reported by @anjewla90. The incident is one of many likely disruptions as a whopping 100,000 protesters are expected to be in Chicago this week.”
The protester’s outburst was part of a larger wave of demonstrations expected to hit Chicago this week. It is anticipated that up to 100,000 protesters will gather across the city to voice their concerns and make their presence felt during the Democratic National Convention.
The DNC delegate party at Navy Pier is a key event in the lead-up to the convention.
The evening before the Democratic National Convention was set to begin in Chicago, the city welcomed thousands of delegates with a lively party at the Navy Pier Ballroom.
The Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, beginning Monday, will officially nominate Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for the 2024 presidential election. This follows President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race.
The convention will see over 4,000 delegates gather, alongside significant media coverage and an estimated 50,000 attendees. The event is designed to unify the party and promote its platform, with themes focused on progressive policies and electoral strategy.
As the DNC unfolds, more demonstrations are anticipated, reflecting the passionate and sometimes contentious debates surrounding US foreign policy and domestic issues.
