A pro-Palestinian protest action briefly blocked all traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco Wednesday morning.

Starting at about 7:45 a.m. Protesters stopped cars and stretched banners across the roadway denouncing Israel's bombing of Rafah in the Gaza Strip and demanding that the U.S. stop arming Israel.

Northbound and southbound traffic on the bridge was at a standstill as of 8 a.m.

What are you on about? There is an entire procedure for lawful protest.

Which is used when there is no democratic or legal recourse to a situation. What is the democratic or legal resource, then, for an average citizen to get their government to publicly denounce genocide in Israel/Palestine?

it was a rhetorical question because there is none

Yes literally no lawful way to protest. None whatsoever

What is the democratic or legal resource, then, for an average citizen to get their government to publicly denounce genocide in Israel/Palestine?

There is none.

Look forward to you telling me what is the democratic or legal resource for an average citizen to get their government to publicly denounce genocide in Israel/Palestine.
