Los Angeles erupted when news broke that the presidential race had been called for Joe Biden.
Fireworks went off in Echo Park. Impromptu sing-alongs popped up on sidewalks, champagne pours included. Whole street corners in Silver Lake and Venice gave way to dance parties. A rainbow even made an appearance.
Several demonstrations that had been organized by Black Lives Matter LA, community groups and labor unions as “protect the vote” events on Saturday quickly became a celebratory march from Pershing Square to Grand Park near LA City Hall.
Crowd has likely crested a thousand, and that doesn’t include the constant stream of car horns honking in solidarity. Next up, we’re marching to Grand Park. pic.twitter.com/GaTNN1OzG0
