Are there pro Palestine protests in the US? (aussie.zone)

I hear about them in basically every corner of the anglo-sphere except the US. The ones in the UK are in the news all the time and here in Melbourne I have a crowd of 100's march past my apartment every other month. Anybody in the US have experience with them? I assume they have a relatively small Palestinian population due to their overt Israeli support, is that true?

There have been continuous pro-Palestine protests here in Chicago for more than the last two decades. You might not see reporting on it because we're just so used to it at this point. It's not news, it's a fact of life.
