oct 18 2023 Protestors stormed part of a congressional building demonstrating against the Israel-Hamas war today.
Multiple arrests were made, and Capitol police confirmed the protest. "A group of protesters are demonstrating inside the Cannon Rotunda. Demonstrations are not allowed inside Congressional Buildings," they said in a social media post.
The group claimed 350 people were inside the building, including "two dozen rabbis." This has not been confirmed.
Capitol Police later said "temporary rolling road closures" were in effect, but roads were opened later on.
"We won’t leave until Congress calls for a ceasefire in Gaza," another tweet read. "We’re here to say: not in our names, and never again. And we’ll continue our civil disobedience until Congress calls for a ceasefire in Gaza, or until they force us to leave."
