The city of Los Angeles is preparing for a significant day of demonstrations on Saturday, June 14, following a week of protests across the city.
According to event organizers, the nationwide series of protests taking place across the U.S., also being called as “No Kings Day”, is described as a national day of action and mass mobilization to protect civil liberties. This event follows a week of protests in Los Angeles, sparked by recent immigration enforcement.
Most demonstrations so far have remained peaceful, but tensions escalated earlier this week in Downtown L.A., prompting the city to issue a curfew on June 10.
In preparation for Saturday’s planned protests, the city is monitoring activity and coordinating with local organizers. While no additional curfews have been announced as of Wednesday morning, City Officials have advised residents to stay alert for updates and plan ahead for possible disruptions.
Whether you’re planning to attend, commute, or simply avoid closures, here’s what to know to stay safe and informed.
