Activists host ‘die-in’ outside Amazon headquarters, block traffic in May Day protest in Seattle

Jessica Rojas with International Migrants Alliance told KOMO News, “The May Day march has always connected migrants' rights and workers' rights together, but then also seeing this as part of the global issues so uplifting the rights and calls of Palestinian labor unions as well.”

About 40 anti-Israel protesters held the “die-in” outside the Amazon headquarters with t-shirts with splattered blood.

Approximately 40 of the anti-Israel activists staged the “die-in.” Many laid on the ground with t-shirts covered in fake blood. Others surrounded the ones on the ground with signs about "Palestinian Liberation" and other slogans.

Approximately 200 activists represented a variety of other causes including Socialism, Marxism, rights for illegal immigrants, and anti-Israel sentiments blocked streets in downtown Seattle while police followed.

It was unclear if the protest allegedly for International Worker’s Day was permitted, but police were not the ones closing the streets. Activists on bicycles and driving cars blocked intersections for the activists.

The action blocked traffic along the route for hours. Anti-Israel activists have previously blocked intersections, bridges, and even freeways with little to no action from the authorities in other locations.
