Protesters Arrested in Oakland Federal Building Occupation, Demanding Gaza Ceasefire

Dozens of protesters, including over 700 Jewish people and their allies, occupied the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building in Oakland, calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. Organized by local chapters of Jewish Voice for Peace and If Not Now, the protesters refused to leave unless a ceasefire was called or they were forcibly removed. Police officers began clearing the building and arresting protesters for unlawful assembly. The action was part of a national week of Jewish-led protests for a ceasefire in Gaza.
