Demonstrators call for end to Israeli siege of Gaza<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Dozens of protestors have chained themselves to Rep. Nancy Pelosi San Francisco’s office Thursday, demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the end of American military aid to Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAN FRANCISCO<\/strong> – Dozens of protestors have chained themselves to Rep. Nancy Pelosi<\/a> San Francisco’s office Thursday, demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the end of American military aid to Israel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protestors say they are blocking entrances to the San Francisco<\/a> Federal Building on Seventh Street with “heavy chains” and have “chained themselves together.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Red, white, and green flags and posters dotted the street as demonstrators shouted “Free, free Palestine.” The protestors spilled from Seventh Street to Market and Mission Streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There is only one solution right now: a ceasefire. Nancy Pelosi has the power to end the genocide and the war today\u2026 We are not leaving until she signs the ceasefire resolution,” a statement from the protestors said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are referring to a resolution from Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) that calls for the Biden<\/a> Administration to de-escalate the violence and send humanitarian aid to Gaza. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The protestors say they won’t leave until the speaker emerita “takes action supporting an immediate ceasefire in Gaza<\/a>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several protestors told KTVU they have their own personal ties to Gaza. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are here to call on Nancy Pelosi to sign the ceasefire resolution that’s in Congress right now, we are here to tell Nancy Pelosi that she has blood on her hands and to also call out $3.8 billion in funding that the U.S. sends to the Israeli military every year,” said Violette Mansour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
