Activists protesting the war in Gaza shut down the Golden Gate Bridge and another major Bay Area highway, I-880, during yesterday morning's commute, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Why it matters: Demonstrations are becoming more disruptive as calls for a ceasefire continue.
Driving the news: Protests over the war in Gaza have ramped up this week in San Francisco and around the country.
The action, which you can see video footage of here, was part of a global "economic blockade to free Palestine," which included calls for students to skip school.
Flashback: Activists calling for a Gaza ceasefire blocked all the lanes on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge in November.
Zoom out: In Chicago, protesters blocked traffic near O'Hare Airport. Travelers were either turned away or had to walk I-190 by foot to make it to their flights.
