LOS ANGELES<\/strong> – A coalition of labor unions, faith leaders, and immigrant<\/a> rights organizations is gathering on Thursday to march through Los Angeles<\/a> in honor of International Migrants Day.\u00a0<\/p>\n What we know:<\/p>\n The event is a coordinated march and rally traversing several Los Angeles neighborhoods, including Koreatown<\/a> and MacArthur Park, before concluding at a Home Depot in the Pico-Union neighborhood. These areas were selected because they have been hotspots for recent ICE raids.<\/p>\n In addition to the march, organizers are promoting a boycott of big box retailers, specifically naming Target and Home Depot. The coalition alleges these corporations have refused to oppose violence targeting immigrants and other marginalized groups.<\/p>\n The backstory:<\/p>\n International Migrants Day is observed annually on December 18 to reaffirm the global need for inclusive and fair migration systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n The 2025 theme, “My Great Story: Cultures and Development,” was chosen to highlight how human mobility drives economic growth and enriches the social fabric of receiving societies.<\/p>\n Organizers note that the message is particularly urgent this year due to shifting political climates in countries like the U.S., <\/a>which they argue have become less compassionate toward vulnerable populations.<\/p>\n Why you should care:<\/p>\n The coalition emphasizes that migration is a global social phenomenon that, when managed well, provides safety for those seeking solace and brings tangible benefits to the communities that receive them.\u00a0<\/p>\n By marching through neighborhoods affected by enforcement actions and calling for corporate accountability, the organizers seek to highlight the essential role migrants play in shaping modern economies and global development.<\/p>\n The Source:<\/b> This report is based on information from the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n Immigration<\/a>Los Angeles<\/a>Koreatown<\/a>Pico-Union<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"article LOS ANGELES – A coalition of labor unions, faith leaders, and immigrant rights organizations is gathering on…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":456178,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[1582,276,409,31956,2961,26074,224,6080,5337,50,45557,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-456177","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-california","10":"tag-immigration","11":"tag-koreatown","12":"tag-la","13":"tag-la-los-angeles-county","14":"tag-los-angeles","15":"tag-los-angeles-county","16":"tag-losangeles","17":"tag-news","18":"tag-pico-union","19":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=456177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456177\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/456178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=456177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=456177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=456177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
