A large demonstration was held at a busy intersection in Elk Grove, Sacramento, to inform the American public about the ongoing violence and brutality in Palestine and to protest against the genocide and killing of innocent people.
People from different countries, including Pakistan, Palestine, Egypt, India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, participated in the demonstration, along with native American women.
The demonstration was part of a series of protests held at busy intersections in different cities across the US to end the war and impose a ceasefire in Gaza and to stop the US financial and military aid to the aggressor country.
Similar protests were held in Roseville and Folsom over weekend.
The protesters carried Palestinian flags and large banners with slogans demanding an end to the violence, an end to the use of American tax money for killing innocent people, and calling for the right to life for the people of Gaza.
The demonstration lasted for two hours, from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm, and was attended by thousands of people who showed their support by honking their horns and holding up signs of support for the protesters and the people of Palestine.
A Catholic woman, Liz, travelled 40 miles from Sacramento to attend the demonstration and said that Americans are now aware of the brutality and violence committed by Israel and are ready to stand up against it.
The demonstration ended peacefully after two hours, with the protesters marching around the intersection and chanting slogans in unison.
