Free Palestine March to Take Place Ahead of Oscars in Los Angeles
A Free Palestine march, calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, is set to hit Los Angeles tomorrow ahead of the 2024 Oscars.
The protest has been called by a group of organizers, artists and film workers in collaboration with Writers Against the War on Gaza LA (WAWOG), Film Workers for Palestine, SAG-AFTRA for Ceasefire and many others, as they say, “No awards during a genocide!”
The organizers say they expect hundreds of people to show up to rally, march, blockade and disrupt, as they demand an immediate and permanent ceasefire. They also call for an end to what they say is “the blockade of Gaza and the occupation of Palestine.”
Film Workers for Palestine shared a statement on Instagram in collaboration with Jewish Voice for Peace’s L.A. chapter, calling people to meet at the Cinerama Dome at 1 p.m. PT Sunday for the march.
“We will not be distracted by the entertainment industry,” the caption of the post read. “We WILL continue to call for a permanent ceasefire and Palestinian liberation. Let’s mobilize and take the streets to show that we refuse to look away from this ongoing genocide! Ceasefire NOW!”
Not only is Sunday the Academy Awards but also the first day of Ramadan, which is a holiday for the majority of Gazans. It is also the day Israel is set to start its ground invasion of Rafah, a small city in the southern Gaza Strip where over a million Palestinians have been forced to shelter.
The news of the Oscars march comes after an Israel-Hamas War protest took place outside of the 2024 Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica on Feb. 25. Protesters were outside the tent playing previously recorded chants on a megaphone, like “free Palestine,” “Long live Palestine” and “ceasefire now.”
