On Black Friday, pro-Palestinian protesters gathered at Boston’s Prudential Center, urging shoppers to boycott in solidarity with Gaza. Demonstrators carried signs, waved flags, and chanted slogans, including “occupying is a crime,” highlighting the irony of their presence in a private commercial space. Boston police reported no arrests or incidents during the protest.
As they were shouting about occupying being a crime, they continued to occupy the mall and disrupt business.
This demonstration was part of a broader series of nationwide protests aimed at drawing attention to the conflict in Gaza and advocating for a ceasefire. Similar events occurred in various cities, with activists targeting commercial centers to disrupt business as usual and emphasize their message.
