Various groups protested at lunchtime today in downtown Providence, including Students for a Democratic Society and the Northeast Anarchist Network.

They said they were showing solidarity with the victims of the bombings of Gaza by Israel and the treatment of protestors in Athens, Greece, as well as with homeless people and people whose homes have been foreclosed upon here in Rhode Island.

The event was organized by a group that calls itself What Queer.
