LA Pride withdrew from the All Black Lives Matter solidarity march — meant to protest police brutality against black people — after a permit application stressed a 'strong and unified partnership with law enforcement'
The All Black Lives Matter solidarity march will continue — but without L.A. Pride, the latter's organizer, Christopher Street West, announced on Monday. The organization previously faced backlash after a permit application to the Los Angeles Police Department and penned by a CSW representative for the All Black Lives Matter event was shared on social media.
CSW explained its decision to drop out in a subsequent statement. "We recognize systemic racism, implicit bias and privilege permeates this country, and this includes the history of our organization. We hope to see progress and start with change from within," the statement said in part. "With that, CSW/L.A. Pride will no longer be involved in organizing what will now be known as the All Black Lives Matter march on Sunday, June 14, 2020, but we are in full support.
