Pro-Palestinian protest blocks San Francisco’s Golden Gate bridge
Los Angeles, United States – AFP
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators blocked San Francisco’s Gold Gate Bridge on Monday, with aerial footage showing the entire span packed with traffic in one direction while lanes in the other direction were empty.
The protest appeared to be part of a coordinated day of direct action that took place in various cities around the world calling for a ceasefire in Israel’s war in Gaza.
Demonstrators who were blocking traffic held a banner reading “Stop the world for Gaza.”
Protest group A15 Action said it was coordinating a “multi-city blockade… in solidarity with Palestine.”
“In each city, we will identify and blockade major choke points in the economy, focusing on points of production and circulation with the aim of causing the most economic impact,” the group said on its website.
