Black Lives Matter-LA, alongside the families of those killed by police, gathered to honor Comrade Jonathan and continue the fight against police violence. The event was a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice and liberation within and outside of prison walls

  • Last Sunday morning, BLMLA and BLM Grassroots marched in solidarity with Palestinian comrades for the Disrupt Fossil Fuels for Gaza! protest in El Segundo. The march, organized in partnership with Students for Justice in Palestine, Code Pink, Veterans for Peace, and White People 4 Black Lives, was a direct action against war profiteers benefiting from the ongoing violence in Gaza. The event underscored the continued genocide being waged on the Palestinian people and the urgent need for a #FreePalestine.
     

  • Last Sunday evening, we held our monthly organizing meeting at the Center for Black Power in Africa Town (Leimert Park). The meeting, focused on Black August, was open to all Black folks, non-Black allies, and new members. Attendees shared a free hot dinner and took home fresh produce bags, continuing the tradition of community care and mutual aid. The meeting provided a space for collective reflection, planning, and action in honor of Black August. Join us on the second Sunday September 15, 2024 for our next monthly organizing meeting!
