Car Caravan – fighting to stop Krogers greed!
3300 W Slauson Ave, Los Angeles
Community organizations, leaders and national unions are mobilizing for the third unified demonstration to demand these stores not be closed. We will be taking to the streets on International Workers Day as a symbolic action for all frontline workers that have risked their lives during the pandemic and to increase pressure on the corporate bully and the property owners alike. All community residents and workers are invited to join us at the the Ralphs on Crenshaw Boulevard in South Central at 1:45pm PST, as we prepare our car caravan with posters, flags and banners to show solidarity for the communities directly affected by this attack and to raise awareness of our demands.
