Pro-Palestine protesters in Austin, Texas, held a rally outside the closed Capitol grounds, leading to arrests. Thousands attended the Nakba Day protest, chanting for a ceasefire. Organizers criticized the closure as an attempt to suppress pro-Palestinian activities.
The Texas Department of Public Safety closed the Capitol grounds through the weekend in anticipation of the protest. March organizers called the move an attempt to "repress" pro-Palestinian organizing in the state. https://t.co/ZKje9ZhfgR https://t.co/rygUTnpXLr
