Open Schools car rally
LOS ANGELES - Students planned to make their voices heard Monday by participating in a car rally in downtown Los Angeles with the hope that officials would reopen schools for in-person instruction.
The Students First Coalition "Open Schools Car Rally" was set to take place between 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. at 500 West Temple Street.
"The Car Rally is a safe and responsible way to protest school closures that have kept hundreds of thousands of L.A. County students out of classrooms, isolated, and many without access to the tools to learn. It also represents the sacrifices students have had to make because of the government's response to the pandemic," the coalition said in a press release.
