Chicago, DNC prepare for thousands of Gaza war protesters | LiveNOW from FOX
The Democratic National Convention returns to Chicago next week for the first time in 28 years and calls have gone out on social media to show up and "shut down" the DNC. The city is bracing for thousands of protesters during the event.

The convention spans four days, from Aug. 19-22, and is expected to bring 50,000 people from across the world to Chicago, including 5,000 delegates and alternates as well as 15,000 members of the media.

The Coalition to March on the Democratic National Convention and the U.S. Palestinian Community Network have reached an agreement with the City of Chicago to protest in the coming days.

"We're here to announce this victory and the fight that we had to fight to win it," one spokesperson said.

Organizers said over 200 organizations across the U.S. have joined the coalition to protest in Chicago next week.
