In the wake of Donald Trump’s election as U.S. President this week, there is going to be a large protest march today, beginning with a rally at 10 a.m. at MacArthur Park, and then proceeding to the U.S. Federal Building in downtown L.A. The event was organized by Tierra y Libertad – Union del Barrio Los Angeles, and is endorsed by a number of other local social action groups
As of this morning, according to the event’s Facebook page, more than 40,000 people have expressed some degree of interest in attending the event, which indicates that if you do plan to attend, it might be a good idea to bike, walk or take public transportation…and if you do not plan to attend, you might want to be aware of potential traffic issues near the park and march route.
Why aren’t the Democratic leaders putting out the call
for unity and peaceful co-existence? Why aren’t the
Democratic leaders asking their followers to unite
behind and support our President Elect? Even President
Obama, Governor Brown, Mayor Garcetti and the city councilmen in whose districts rowdy demonstrators have disrupted our daily lives have failed to put out
the rallying cry for peaceful assembly. Seems that
Rodney King was leagues ahead of our “Democratic” leaders when he asked everyone: “Can’t we just get along?”
