Guido Reichstadter, a Florida-based activist, came down from the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge in Washington, DC, on Wednesday, ending his 6-day protest. Reichstadter had camped out on the 51-metre bridge since May 1, causing periodic traffic jams as Washington police closed lanes and negotiated with him. He was charged with crowding, obstructing, or incommoding, as well as unlawful entry and failing to obey an officer. Reichstadter protested against artificial intelligence and the US-Israeli war on Iran, calling for an immediate end to the war and a suspension of AI development. He staged a similar protest on the same bridge in 2022 against a Supreme Court decision. Reichstadter announced on his X account on Tuesday that he would be coming down and expected to be arrested.
