When the Democratic National Committee chose Chicago as the site of the party's 2024 national convention a year ago, no one knew incumbent presidential nominee Joe Biden would become the target of major antiwar demonstrations.
Organizers expect as many as 30,000 protesters to gather outside Chicago's United Center during the convention, focusing on controversy over Israel's lethal operations in Gaza.
Demonstrators aim to have their voices heard by delegates and media, while police and officials want protests to occur at a distance from the convention to avoid clashes akin to the 1968 riots.
