Protesters march through Downtown Pittsburgh on Saturday, March 2, 2024 to demand a ceasefire in the war in Gaza. The march for peace in Gaza drew a crowd of hundreds and was organized by Students for Justice in Palestine, and Jewish Voice For Peace.

Demonstrators took to the streets in downtown Pittsburgh on Saturday, March 2, 2024 to demand a ceasefire in the war in Gaza, and that Israel stop military operations in Rafah, the southern part of the Gaza Strip. Rafah, which is located near the border with Egypt, is where the majority of displaced Palestinians have fled.

The march for peace in Gaza drew a crowd of hundreds.

It was organized locally by Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice For Peace and also drew other independent activists.

Saturday’s protest was one of many staged simultaneously around the world, according to an event coalition that includes the Palestinian Youth Movement, the International Peoples’ Assembly and numerous other organizations.

About 100 marches or protests were slated to take place Saturday in the U.S., Canada, Spain, Japan, Sweden, Indonesia, South Africa and elsewhere.

More than 200 U.S. organizations claimed to have taken part in or endorsed “the day of action,” event organizers said.
