Hundreds of protesters marched through Hollywood Sunday ahead of the 96th Academy Awards to highlight what they called “Hollywood's active support of the U.S.-funded Israeli genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.”
The demonstration began around 10:30 a.m. at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Highland Avenue. It was co-sponsored by a coalition including the U.S. Palestinian Community Network, Centro CSO, National Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression, Black Lives Matter LA, the Free Democratic Palestine Movement and the International League of Peoples' Struggle.
Organizers said their goal was to “disrupt the Academy Awards” and expose “retaliation against anyone in the film industry who speaks out against Israel's atrocities and war crimes.”
