Good afternoon! I’m here OTG at a “End White Supremacy” Rally, on Franklin and Hillhurst in Los Felix.
I’d put the amount of people at about 75.
RevComs making a speech now. Crowd seems a bit more mixed as far as reaction.
Crowd beginning to march. Hearing they’re headed to the Griffith Observatory- a march that should take about an hour or more.
A pretty large tent of stated causes today: seeing Palestinian flags/cheers, AAPI flags, LGBTQIA+ flags, RevComs, PSL, Black Lives Matter, Pro-Refugee flags, Antifa flags.
Crowd passing by a Sikh Temple, made mention of the recent mass shooting in Indianapolis (referred to as Minneapolis). Police blocking traffic one block down.
The crowd is now in Griffith Park. I’m being told the plan is to go to the top of the hill. Passing the “base camp” now
The crowd is getting pretty close to the observatory- of note, this is the one of the first times in the LA area that a BLM protest crowd has gone through a tunnel since an incident where protestors were kettled and shot with less lethals last summer.
Crowd has arrived at the Observatory. Some dancing and speeches.
