Action: Join L.A.'s Workers April 15, 16 and 17th

March from Hollywood to the Docks

This comes from L.A.Union, the AFL-CIO's Los Angeles County umbrella:

Actors, longshore workers, janitors and other working Californians will be embarking on a three-day, 28-mile march from Hollywood to the docks of San Pedro. These union members and community allies will symbolize more than 350,000 workers who will be fighting for new contracts this year to stay in the middle class or move themselves out of poverty.

Many marchers will be camping out for the entire march, but several events and rallies will be held over the course of the march, so even those who cannot make the full commitment will be able to participate. You can find a full schedule of events at

The march will kick off with a rally on Tuesday morning, and will conclude on Thursday with a massive demonstration at the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro. Everyone is encouraged to show their support for the marchers at these and other events throughout the three-day march.

Rally at the Port of Los Angeles in San Pedro Thursday, April 17th at 6:00 pm Berth 87, W 1st St & S Harbor Blvd in San Pedro.
