Los Angeles C.A.- The October 22nd Coalition Against Police Brutality is holding its 11th annual march this Sunday.

The march, which will be held simultaneously in 40 cities across the United States, will begin on Olympic and Broadway at 12 Noon in downtown Los Angeles, and end with a rally at Parker Center. The rally will feature speeches from relatives of those who have lost their lives to police brutality, activists, community organizers, and performances.

The coalition, which began in the mid 1990’s, originated as a response to hundreds of police brutality cases around the country. Since then, families, friends, activists and victims have held marches and community events to expose the use of excessive force throughout U.S.

Organizers say that this march and rally are needed to make people aware of the problem. “A lot of people think that police brutality doesn’t happen, or it only happens to a small number of people,” says organizer Tiah Star.

“We want to make people see that this is a huge problem that is affecting more and more people, and the police are not being held accountable for their actions.”

Organizers say that part of the problem are repressive laws that target youth, immigrants, and people of color.

“The theme of our march this year is homeland security equals more stolen lives. This is because people are being legally abused in the name of national security in detention centers, by border police, and in their own communities.” Star added

“We will continue to have a national day against police brutality until major changes are made, and police are held accountable for their actions.”
