Protesters at the University of California, Berkeley were seen on video blocking the entrance to a high-traffic footbridge on campus as part of a demonstration for transgender safe spaces, among other demands.
The protesters — who linked arms across Sather Gate starting on Friday, Heat Street said — reportedly let people of color through their human chain.
