Illegal Immigration Watch: Great American Boycott 2006 – Los Angeles Getting Ready for Protests
Uly Linares passes out a publication supporting the upcoming pro-immigration boycott during Fiesta Broadway, an annual Hispanic celebration which closes off several blocks of the downtown area, Sunday, April 30, 2006, in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles Times: Gearing Up, and Girding for, Protests
As organizers and police made final preparations Sunday for immigration protests and possible boycotts around the nation today, residents and business owners in the path of marches in Los Angeles were bracing with a mix of excitement, anxiety and even some anger.
Los Angeles police expect the largest of the demonstrations to occur this afternoon on Wilshire Boulevard. Authorities are preparing for hundreds of thousands to march down one of L.A.’s most storied streets, following a route between MacArthur Park and the Miracle Mile that’s a microcosm of the city’s ethnic and economic diversity.
Many businesses along Wilshire plan to close for most of the day — some so that workers can join the protests, others in hopes of avoiding potential problems. Parents were figuring out how to pick up their children from school, while some residents — such as Ted Moreta of Hancock Park — were getting out of town altogether.
Roger Simon, Andrew Markus and Baldilocks will be covering the Los Angeles protest for Pajamas Media.
