As President Donald Trump continues to crackdown on immigration policies, the unrest continues in Los Angeles, California, as protestors take to the streets once again in Mariachi Plaza, Boyle Heights on March 3.
The protest was organized by the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) where it began in Mariachi Plaza and was led down the streets of LA following a truck filled with musicians and public speakers.
“We are coming out here to defend the rights of immigrants, we have a large undocumented community in Los Angeles and it is our duty to protect them,” said organizer Danielle Torres with PSL.
Speakers began the protest, members from non-profits and community based programs such as Celebration Nation Foundation, Immigo LA, and the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON).
“All they have to do is see if there is an oligarchy that is running this country right now, an oligarchy that we are going to defeat together, and it will require a movement of all people,” said Pablo Alvarado, co-executive director of NDLON.
After the speakers music filled the crowd and the march began circling into the city and concluded back into the plaza.
The protest at peak was met with under 100 protestors as compared to similar walks the weeks beforehand.

Students from East Los Angeles Renaissance Academy coordinated with school staff to walk out and participate in the protest, many taking public transport to meet up with other friends and classmates.
“I have long time friends who are a part of these communities like this, so I’m concerned all the time,” said student protestor Aris Clark.
Most student walkouts have been led by the high schools, however the students who attended the march ranged from middle school to college students.
“Our goal was to bring awareness to our school, because I’m gonna be honest, it’s really whitewashed,” said student organizer Marie Vargas, “So we started a presentation for the whole school and then that’s when we said we were gonna do this walkout.”
While the protest remained peaceful for the majority of the time, there were moments of high stress between protestors as well as arguments between observers and protestors.
