Thursday night, there were thousands of protesters march near the United Center, calling for a cease-fire in Gaza.

The Coalition to March on the DNC are pro-Palestinian and want the U.S. to stop sending aid to Israel, but also demand money for jobs, school, health care, housing and the environment, as opposed to war.

Things remained peaceful with Chicago police controlling and containing the crowd.
