"Security Boosted for Free Palestine March Ahead of Oscars in Los Angeles"
A Free Palestine march is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles ahead of the 2024 Oscars, organized by a coalition of groups including Writers Against the War on Gaza LA and Film Workers for Palestine. The protest aims to demand a ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the blockade and occupation of Palestine, with organizers expecting hundreds to participate. The march coincides with the first day of Ramadan and Israel's planned ground invasion of Rafah, and follows a previous protest at the Independent Spirit Awards.
