WE'LL CHECK BACK IN WITH YOU A LITTLE BIT LATER ON IN THE SHOW.

NEARLY 60 PEOPLE, THOUGH, WERE ARRESTED LAST NIGHT OUTSIDE THE ISRAELI CONSULATE IN THE LOOP AFTER POLICE SUPERINTENDENT LARRY SNELLING SAYS THEY CLASHED WITH OFFICERS.

MEMBERS OF THE GROUP BEHIND ENEMY LINES WERE TAKEN INTO CUSTODY AND TRANSPORTED TO A MAKESHIFT COURTHOUSE TO MAKE AN INITIAL APPEARANCE.

NOW WE GO TO UNION PARK WHERE OTHER PROTEST GROUPS HAVE GATHERED FOR ANOTHER DAY OF DEMONSTRATIONS.

REPORTER JOANNA HERNANDEZ IS THERE AS A RALLY ABOUT THE WAR IN GAZA GETS UNDERWAY.

AND BRAD IS THE MESSAGE HAS REMAINED THE SAME FOR THE PEOPLE THAT YOU SEE BEHIND ME IN SOLIDARITY.

THEY WANT THE BIDEN-HARRIS ADMINISTRATION, HIS ADMINISTRATION TO END U.S. AID TO ISRAEL.

NOW, THIS IS DAY 3 OF DEMONSTRATIONS THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE IN DOWNTOWN CHICAGO AND HERE AT UNION PARK WHERE ABOUT HALF A MILE FROM THE UNITED CENTER WHERE THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION IS TAKING PLACE.

WE KNOW THE RALLY IS ORGANIZED, BUT THE CHICAGO COALITION FOR JUSTICE IN PALESTINE, AMONG OTHER LOCAL ACTIVISTS GROUPS.

WE SPOKE TO A TEACHER AND A MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN MUSLIMS FOR PALESTINE WHO SAYS THEY ARE NOT STOPPING UNTIL THEIR PEOPLE ARE DOLLARS ARE GOING THERE.

AND WE'RE CALLING ON OUR GOVERNMENT.

OUR ELECTED LEADERS TO STOP AND IT TO END THAT GENOCIDE.

BIDEN COULD HAVE ENDED THIS 10 MONTHS AGO WITH ONE PHONE CALL.

BUT HE CHOSE NOT TO.

IT'S ALL ABOUT POWER AND MONEY.

UNFORTUNATELY.

VARIETY OF SPEAKERS ARE SET TO TAKE STAND DURING THE RALLY.

ALDERMEN VIRUS EACH A LITTLE BIT.

SO VOCAL SUPPORTER OF THE PALESTINE MOVEMENT ALSO SPOKE ABOUT THE NEED FOR AN IMMEDIATE CEASE-FIRE IN GAZA TO END THE SUFFERING.

I CAN TELL YOU WE ARE SEEING PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND CULTURES WITH SIGNS SAYING NO CEASE-FIRE, NO VOTE CHRISTIANS FOR A CEASE-FIRE, A MOVEMENT THAT A MOTHER FEEL COMPELLED TO BE A PART SHE DROVE FROM ROCKFORD TO BE PART OF THIS RALLY.

I HAVE 2 CHILDREN, MYSELF.

AM TO THINK ABOUT THOSE KIDS ARE GOING THROUGH AND PALESTINE UNFATHOMABLE AND THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE.

I FEEL LIKE MORE PEOPLE THAT COME TOGETHER, MAYBE THE MESSAGE WILL BE MORE RECEIVED.

I DON'T KNOW.

BUT WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.

AND IT'S BEEN 10 MONTHS IS GROUPS OF COALITION STARTED MOBILIZING IN DEMANDING FOR POLITICIANS TO SPEAK AGAINST WHAT THEY SAY IS A GENOCIDE BEING TELEVISED FOR PEOPLE TO WATCH.

BERNIE SANDERS IS A POLITICAL FIGURE WHO HAS SPOKEN OUT ABOUT THE NEED TO END THE WAR IN GAZA.

MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON HAS ALSO EXPRESSED HIS SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE EXERCISING THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.

HOWEVER, IT HASN'T BEEN ENOUGH FOR LEAD ORGANIZER.

THEY WANT THE ADMINISTRATION TO SPEAK OUT AND HELP THE PEOPLE PALESTINE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND THE INSTITUTIONS PROP UP THE GOVERNMENT CONTINUE TO HAVE UNCONDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT.

AND THERE GENOCIDAL ACTIONS AND IN MY COUNTRY AND ON MY PEOPLE, THEN THERE WILL NOT BE UNCONDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR THEM.

AND IT'S NOT THAT WE WANT TO CONDEMN A SINGLE CANDIDATE OR CONDEMN A SPECIFIC PERSON.

IT'S ABOUT AN ENTIRE SYSTEM THAT WILL UNCONDITIONALLY SUPPORT SOMETHING WITHOUT BEING AN QUESTION BY THEY'RE PUTTING SO MUCH MONEY BEHIND IT BEING UNWILLING TO TO EVEN LOOK BACK AND CONSIDER THAT THEIR THIS MONEY COULD BE BEING PUT ANYWHERE ELSE TO HELP PEOPLE.

AND THIS IS A LIVE LOOK OF WHAT THE RALLY IS LOOKING LIKE AT UNION PARK.

WE ARE SEEING SADIE AND SEE ITS TIME STOP FUNDING GENOCIDE STUDENTS STAND WITH PALESTINE.

AGAIN, WE KNOW THAT ONCE THE SPEAKERS ARE THEY WILL BE MARCHING AROUND THE AREA NEAR THE UNITED CENTER.

WE ALSO KNOW THERE IS A FINAL RALLY HAPPENING TOMORROW HERE AT 05:00PM.

BUT AGAIN, PRESSED BRAND IS SO FAR EVERYTHING HAS BEEN PEACEFUL.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S HUNDREDS OF
