The Democratic National Convention is set to take place in Chicago next week, with heightened security measures in place amid concerns over potential protests. A significant security wall is being constructed around the convention site, drawing criticism for perceived hypocrisy given the Democratic Party's previous stance on barriers. Authorities are preparing for large demonstrations, with up to 100,000 pro-Palestine protestors expected. Activists are focusing on issues such as abortion rights, economic injustice, and the war in Gaza. The city is on high alert as officials and businesses brace for possible disruptions. Additionally, the convention is demanding ID from everyone entering the venue.
