Hundreds of demonstrators gathered near downtown. They called for all of the city officials involved in the audio leak scandal to resign.
Los Angeles’ Oaxacan community gathered under cloudy skies for a march for justice Saturday afternoon, following revelations over a leaked audio recording in which some City Council members disparaged Black andCarrying signs that proclaimed “Proud Oaxaqueña” and “Fuera Racistas,” hundreds of demonstrators gathered at noon on Grand Avenue in front of Los Angeles Trade-Tech Community College near downtown.
Los Angeles is home to one of the largest Oaxacan communities outside of Mexico. One expert estimated that there are as many as 200,000 Zapotecs — the largest Indigenous group from Oaxaca — living in Los Angeles County. The family carried signs that bore quotes from MLK, Muhammad Ali and Benito Juarez. One of her daughters’ signs read “Be Brown & Be Proud.”
