Around 20 pro-Palestinian protesters held a guerilla action at the Brooklyn Museum on Dec 8.

The group, affiliated with the activist organizations Decolonize This Place and Within Our Lifetime, demanded that the New York City institution cut its ties with donors financially tied to Israel.

The protesters unfurled several banners in the museum’s third-floor hall, including a large sign that read “Brooklyn Museum, No Silence on Genocide.” Smaller sheets of fabric bore the phrases “No normalization of settler colonialism” and “Divest from genocide.” Security officers quickly told the protesters to leave and attempted to direct them to the stairwell. The activists instead marched through the open galleries, handing out pamphlets to museum visitors.
