SACRAMENTO, Calif.—Chanting, singing, and demanding an immediate cease-fire to the war in Gaza, more than 1,000 protesters took over the Capitol building Jan. 3.
“What matters is the sanctity and sacredness of our lives,” Jennifer Esteen, protester and Alameda County supervisor candidate, told the crowd. “Today is the first day of the legislative session, and we have told leaders that there will be no business as usual while people are dying.”
