In solidarity with Black Lives Matter hundreds of activists gathered at Mariachi Plaza, in Downtown Los Angeles yesterday. The demonstration was organized by Roosevelt High School alumni who in turn called for justice and equal rights.
The main message of the demonstration was to destroy systematic racism in the U.S and defund the police. They also called to refund education and criticized L.A. District Attorney Jackie Lacey. The demonstrators marched from Mariachi Plaza to Hall of Justice.
They chanted, “Lacey has got to go”, “No justice no peace, No racist police” and encouraged everyone to join the march.
