The California Democratic Convention was disrupted by a large protest calling for a cease-fire in Gaza, leading to the cancellation of some events. The protest began with a sit-in at the Safe Credit Union Convention Center, causing the convention to halt for several hours. Protesters then left the convention center and marched down J Street, converging in front of the Sacramento Auditorium. The Sacramento Police Department shut down J Street between 14th and 16th streets for several hours, causing significant traffic disruption. The protest was sponsored by Jewish Voices for Peace Action and the California Progressive Alliance. No arrests were made and no reports of vandalism were received. The convention was held to consider candidate endorsements ahead of the March primary, including the state's competitive U.S. Senate race. U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee emerged as the top vote-getter among delegates, despite trailing in public polling. The convention was marked by the presence of progressive members, with the Israel-Hamas war causing divisions within the party.
