Stein and her recently announced VP pick, Professor Rudolph "Butch" Ware, were pictured alongside the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) candidate in Chicago just one day after winning the Green Party nomination for the White House.

"Exciting meeting with Claudia De la Cruz at the PSL National press conference in Chicago today. My running mate Rudolph Ware and I continue supporting organizational unity for movement goals!" Stein shared on X along with photos of the encounter.

Stein, Ware, and De la Cruz – along with thousands of American voters – are hitting the streets in Chicago as Democratic delegates and leaders gather to celebrate the nomination of Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz.

The three third-party White House contenders have been vocal advocates of Palestinian freedom and an end to the Biden-Harris administration's continued support for the apartheid state of Israel, whose military and settlers have slaughtered at least 40,000 people in Gaza and another 635 in the West Bank in the last 10 months.

Since becoming the Democratic nominee, Harris has failed to outline any major policy difference toward Israel and Palestine from her current boss, President Joe Biden. A top aide has said she does not support an arms embargo against Israel – one of protesters' core demands.

Stein and De la Cruz argue that breaking the Republican-Democratic duopoly is crucial to ending US militarism and ensuring a just, secure future for the Palestinian people as well as for Americans at home.

Videos on social media captured De la Cruz leading protesters as they marched through Chicago on Sunday chanting, "Gaza, you make us proud. Say it loud and say it clear: Liberation is here."
