Hundreds of protesters have gathered near Los Angeles, California, to join in the nationwide anti-racism rallies across the US in reaction to the latest outburst of racial violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.
The demonstrators marched through Laguna Beach on Saturday, a week after a man linked to white supremacist groups ran over a group of counter-protesters during a gathering of white nationalists in Charlottesville, killing one woman and injuring some 20 others.
Condemning the violence, the protesters also blasted President Donald Trump for encouraging racist groups by refusing to count white supremacists and denounce their acts.
The protest was also a preemptive move against a far-right rally scheduled on Sunday. Right-wing groups had called on their followers to gather in the area and speak out against the “cheap labor” as well as the crimes of illegal immigrants.
