Uncommitted DNC delegates end sit-in outside United Center
Delegates from the Uncommitted Movement ended their sit-in after roughly 24 hours Thursday. They were calling for the Democratic National Convention to include a pro-Palestinian speaker.
A group of about 40 unconfirmed delegates and supporters spent the night outside the United Center on the sidewalk, and remained there for hours on the last day of the DNC, Thursday.
They said they were waiting for a call, hopefully from party leadership, saying they've changed their mind, and will allow a pro-Palestinian speaker to address the DNC. But, that call did not come.
The protesters went back inside the DNC after 8 p.m. Thursday.
