"Providence Pro-Palestine Demonstrations Disrupt Black Friday Shopping"

Hundreds of demonstrators marched in Downtown Providence on Black Friday to call for justice for Palestine, with the original plan to enter the Providence Place Mall disrupted by police. The protest aimed to raise awareness about the "Shut It Down for Palestine" boycott and targeted the defense contractor Textron. Despite a recent cease-fire deal, protesters demanded more than a temporary humanitarian pause. The demonstration remained peaceful, with a prayer service held, and concluded in the afternoon.
