On Monday at 8:30 a.m., students from multiple East Los Angeles high schools organized a march and rally against hate and racism. The mission was to unify their peers and stand up against the heightened discrimination that has been brought forth by the comments made by President-elect Donald Trump and others.
Students first walked out of Garfield High School later meeting up with others from multiple high schools such as Mendez, Torres, De La Hoya and Roosevelt at the Mariachi Plaza in Boyle Heights.
Once all students were united in solidarity, they peacefully proceeded with their march to L.A. City Hall, where news outlets reported an estimated 4,000 students gathered.
