Thousands of Los Angeles community members united in solidarity with the women of Iran at the Freedom for Iran Rally organized by Women’s March LA, in Pershing Square on Saturday, October 1. After the death of Mahsa Amini, 22, by Iran’s morality police, protests against her death have grown. Women are cutting their hair and burning chadors, demanding freedom.

Activists arrived at City Hall Tuesday to protest an amendment that would ban homeless encampments near schools and daycares, which was ultimately passed by the Los Angeles City Council.
