Bridge Protests: Dramatic Shutdowns and Global Demands

Protesters shut down the San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge for over four hours during President Joe Biden's visit for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit. Hundreds of demonstrators called for a ceasefire in Gaza, causing a 5-mile backup and disrupting the morning commute. The protesters used tactics such as abandoning vehicles, chaining themselves to the bridge, and staging a "die-in." Law enforcement detained and cited 80 protesters for unlawful assembly and failure to disperse.
