- At midnight Tuesday, Aug. 12, 2025, a coalition of community organizations, labor unions and immigrant rights groups began a daylong community stoppage, boycotting Target, Home Depot, Walmart and McDonald’s.
- On June 6, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement launched mass raids, resulting in 2,792 arrests in seven Los Angeles counties, including a Penske truck raid at Wilshire Boulevard's Home Depot.
- Beginning at midnight, protesters held a fast-food workers strike near MacArthur Park, followed by a 5 a.m. walkout and marches to the L.A. County Board of Supervisors Hall of Administration at noon and Placita Olvera at 5 p.m.
- At MacArthur Park, several hundred workers, organizers and immigrant advocates gathered, hearing speeches from union organizers, community activists and LA City Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez.
