Seven protesters who shut down the Golden Gate Bridge in March received 30-day jail sentences and six months probation this past Friday, convicted on misdemeanor charges for blocking traffic during a Gaza solidarity protest. The jury found them guilty of false imprisonment and unlawful assembly, but felony conspiracy charges were dropped — a major victory for defense. Supporters flooded the courthouse, erupting in cheers as the verdicts were read. The judge cited civil disobedience’s legacy, referencing Martin Luther King Jr., while denying home detention requests. Each protester will serve 13 days, with some time potentially earned through work programs, and all plan to appeal — a process that could last up to a year.
