LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) Event organizers for the Women’s March-Los Angeles say the day is designed to unify communities and make a stand for “justice and equity forall.” Organizers stress that the event is non-partisan and not a protest, but a “celebration of human rights.” However, the Washington, D.C., march that sparked local “sister” marches like the one in Los Angeles was deliberately planned for the day afterPresident Donald Trump’s inauguration. And many of the individuals and groups planning to participate stand in opposition to Trump and his policies as laid out on the campaign trail and during his transition to office. “In a time when we are all wondering what we can do, we can do this … let them hear our voice!” march organizer Deena Katz said in a statement. Barbra Streisand, Jane Fonda, Natalie Portman, Kerry Washington, Alfre Woodard, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, Moby, Sharon Lawrence, Brandy, Mandy Moore, Jamie Lee Curtis and Laverne Cox are among the celebrities slated to take part in the LA event.
