The massive gathering was one of many impeachment marches across the country Sunday.
While lawmakers are unlikely to pursue an impeachment of President
Donald Trump any time soon, that didn’t stop protesters from hitting the streets in Los Angeles on Sunday to demand his ouster.
Thousands of protesters assembled for the march in the city’s downtown,
the Los Angeles Times estimated, while more than
12,000 indicated on the event’s Facebook page that they were attending. It was one of the biggest turnouts for the nearly 50
impeachment marches organized around the U.S. on Sunday by a group of volunteers, who raised money for the events on crowdfunding sites. They did not identify any partner groups.
“
Impeachment is a political process, and it’s is enshrined in the Constitution. We cannot afford to have a president that breaks the law,” LA march organizer Tudor Popescu said at the rally, pointing to former FBI director
James Comey’s testimony that Trump asked him to
drop the investigation into former National Security Adviser
Michael Flynn’s ties to Russia.
