This dude was doing laps around the whole civic center with the flag and Rocky music, was pretty fun to watch no cap lol. I caught him for a few seconds on his 4th or 5th lap.
Quickly asked one of the firefighters why they’re here and what this means to them as they were getting ready to march.
Overview of the march happening along the sidewalk and stopping at street corners.
Got yelled at by a motorcycle piggy for my audacity of moving into a crosswalk while I had the pedestrian go sign lol.
Met a Julian Assange supporter who I talked to after she cheered when I yelled Free Julian Assange :)
“Grow food. Take care of your body. Love your neighbor…”
I wanted to hear from this man what he believes the anti-mandate movement stands for. He stood up to some of the hyper partisan RWers being aggressive to people during the march.
Back on the ground at Echo Park as police surround the area, they’ve blocked off most roads leading here as well. There’s many more surrounding all of Echo Park Lake #EchoParkRiseUp
Police presence contd.
Protestors and media confronting some of the police here #EchoParkRiseUp
Lots of activists and media gathering in Echo Park this morning following the news that the city (@MitchOFarrell) plans to displace and fence off the community of unhoused people here #EchoParkRiseUp
Numbers have tripled since the action started at 7. A lot will stay for a while to flood the park with signs, some will come back for the night as police will probably try to displace the people of the camp when less activists/media are present #EchoParkRiseUp
