Felony charges against protesters who blocked traffic on San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge during a 2024 anti-Israel demonstration have been dropped, following a two-and-a-half-week trial that ended with jurors deadlocking.

The protesters were among 26 people charged by San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins following the April 15, 2024, demonstration. The protest was part of a nationwide action organized by A15 Action, which targeted major economic “choke points” in an effort to show “solidarity with Palestine.”
