Pro-Palestinian protesters gathered to block major roadways in Washington, D.C., to call for the United States to “end the genocide” related to the Israel-Hamas war, ending with law enforcement arresting 23 protesters.

Several local organizations, including the Palestinian Youth Movement, Occupation Free DC, DMV Dissenters, Maryland 2 Palestine, Harriet’s Dreams, and the Party for Socialism and Liberation, blocked five major intersections on Wednesday morning to call for a ceasefire and an “immediate end to the 16-year siege on Gaza,” according to the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights.
