Pro-Palestinian Protests on highways near JFK and LAX airports.

Protestors stopped traffic near jfk? How could anyone tell?

Proud of them. I've been going to what marches and such I can, but these are some cool af people.

Good way to not be ignored. Delay a few flights on the week between Christmas and New Year's, rearrange several thousands people's schedules, fuck up the air traffic schedules, cost millions in delays and reroutes. Next time one of these pops up, there will be about 10 vans of riot cops waiting

I’m curious what about what this accomplishes. My org is planning similar things. I don’t really care about inconveniencing people or having the few caught in traffic “turning against the cause” (a useless “ally” in the first place if that’s all it takes), but what is the outcome of stuff like this? Is it the media attention that’s valuable so the message doesn’t get pushed to the sidelines?
