The Middle Tennessee Chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) announced it will hold another pro-Palestine rally this upcoming weekend at Centennial Park in Nashville.
“Stand up for Palestine! Ceasefire now! Join us in Nashville at 2000 West End Ave on Saturday at 1PM,” the group wrote in a social media post on Tuesday.

In the rally’s flier advertising, Middle Tennessee DSA urged those planning on attending to bring banners, signs, and other placards that “support and call for the protection of civilians everywhere.”
The flier also adds, “President Biden and Congress: stop funding and supporting genocide!”
The group’s upcoming rally will mark the fourth straight weekend of pro-Palestine demonstrations in downtown Nashville amid the terrorist group Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel that left over 1,400 Israelis and 32 Americans dead. Middle Tennessee DSA has organized each rally.
Middle Tennessee DSA’s most recent pro-Palestine rally, which took place this past weekend, drew a crowd of approximately 300 protesters, including Tennessee State Senator Heidi Campbell (D-Nashville), who quickly left the event shortly after discovering her whereabouts were captured on camera.
The fourth pro-Palestine rally in Nashville is planned on the same day that tens of thousands of protesters are expected to march in Washington D.C., in support of Palestine and a ceasefire between Israeli forces and Hamas terrorists.
In a social media post, the national chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America announced, “Find a bus to join us & tens of thousands in a mass mobilization in D.C. on Nov 4th! Take to the streets for a #CeasefireNOW and #FreePalestine!”
