US: Unionized writers plan to march in Los Angeles, California, from 10:00 June 21

Event

Activists from the Writers Guild of America (WGA) plan to hold a protest march in Los Angeles on June 21. The purpose of the action is to demand improved pay for screenwriters. Demonstrators plan to gather at the Pan Pacific Park at 10:00 before marching to the La Brea Tar Pits for a rally. Organizers have indicated that the action will draw thousands of participants.

Heightened security and localized business and transport disruptions are likely near the gathering. While the march will probably remain largely peaceful, minor scuffles between police and protesters remain possible.
