Saturday's LA Protests: When And Where
The protests over police brutality and systemic racism continue today throughout Southern California.
Here are some we know about (this is by no means an exhaustive list):
Mid Wilshire: 2.75-mile protest run/walk, 4625 W. Olympic Blvd., 10:30 a.m.
Over these last couple of weeks I have had an array of emotions, but above all I am encouraged. At first I was afraid to protest, now I am organizing my own. I encourage you to join me in my community as we run/walk 2.75 miles in the Mid-Wilshire area in peace, in love, in solidarity. This is what Nipsey meant when he said “The Marathon Continues.” The fight for justice does not end here. #2wiceashard #walkgoodrungood @walkgoodproductionsA post shared by Etienne (eh-tee-en) Maurice (@walkgoodetienne) on
