Hundreds of protesters gathered on Capitol Hill and occupied part of a House office building to call for a cease-fire in Gaza. They were wearing black T-shirts with slogans like "Jews say cease fire now" and "Not in our name." The protesters were arrested after refusing to stop demonstrating. The protest was organized by the Jewish anti-Zionist organization, Jewish Voice for Peace. Before the sit-in, a large crowd had gathered on the National Mall, urging the Biden administration to intervene and end the violence. Demonstrators demanded that President Biden use his power to pressure Israel and save innocent lives.
