Known as "The Farce of July," it is an annual march to "demand an end to white supremacy on native land." It took place this Farce (Fourth), too.
It is organized by Xicano Records and Films, a creative collective planting intergenerational seeds of love for decolonization through music, art, films, word, and actions.
The action started at [LA's oldest street] Olvera Street. The group then proceeded, stopping along the way. Native leaders dropped tobacco to remember the past and the ancestors.
There were a few small altercations in the protest, including a lone counter-protestor chanting, “ALL lives matter.” [Of course, all lives do not matter, and they will not until Black lives matter. That's the point of the controversial BLM slogan.]
At the federal courthouse, there were U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents present.
