Protesters Call for Gaza Ceasefire at Harvard-Yale Football Game

HeadlineNov 20, 2023

In New Haven, Connecticut, hundreds of students and alumni from Yale and Harvard held a peaceful protest during a football game between the two universities calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. Protesters waved Palestinian flags and banners that read “End the Occupation; End the Genocide” and “Free Palestine.” They also demanded Yale and Harvard divest from weapons manufacturers that supply Israel’s military.

Editor’s Note: An earlier version of this headline inaccurately said the protesters halted the game.
