A pro-Palestine rally – organized by the same group that hosted a “die-in” protest at City Hall back on Nov. 9 – was scheduled to take place at 5 p.m. at Rittenhouse Square. Organizers for that rally -- including the groups PSL Philly, ANSWER, The Black Alliance for Peace Philadelphia and Malcolm X Grass Roots Movement -- called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

It's unclear at this time whether both of the groups that gathered on Friday are affiliated with the planned Rittenhouse Square protest.

Both demonstrations remained peaceful for the most post, according to police. They did have several transport vans lined up outside of 30th Street Station just in case.
