LA Native moment:

The #LosAngeles protests are not occurring in some random spot in DTLA. The protesters are specifically choosing to occupy the legendary Olvera corridor, with Los Angeles, Main and Alameda. These intersections are the birthplace of Los Angeles as a city, where 22 Latino families and 24 diaspora descendants/Afro-Latino families joined to establish El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de Los Ángeles in 1781.

They’re also directly across the freeway from the federal building.
