Thousands of demonstrators gathered on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Sunday for a march from Hollywood to West Hollywood to demand police reform and LGBTQ rights.
The peaceful event, organized by leaders of black LGBTQ rights groups, drew a diverse crowd of protesters raising rainbow flags and holding up balloons.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department estimated 25,000 people were participating in the demonstration as of 2 p.m.
Some took a knee and chanted George Floyd’s name as the crowd moved past colorful letters painted along Hollywood Boulevard reading “All Black Lives Matter.”
Floyd was killed while in police custody on May 25, sparking massive demonstrations that have been ongoing across the nation.
The 2020 L.A. Pride parade was originally scheduled to take place in West Hollywood on Sunday but was canceled due to the coronavirus.
Participants have been urged to wear face coverings due to the continuing spread of COVID-19.
