Black Lives Matter protesters gathered outside Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti's residence on Thanksgiving morning in protest of rumors that President-elect Joe Biden's transition team may be considering nominating Garcetti to his incoming administration.
Though Garcetti has previously denied that he is contemplating a political move, the Los Angeles chapter of Black Lives Matter (BLM) said in posts on social media that they will continue protesting until the Biden transition team confirms that Garcetti is not among the politicians being considered for a cabinet position. Thursday marked the third straight day of the protests.
"Hundreds showed up in front of @MayorOfLA's to tell @JoeBiden we don't want the worst mayor in the nation setting national policy," BLM's Los Angeles chapter tweeted following Thursday's demonstration. "DON'T APPOINT GARCETTI TO ANYTHING!"
KCRW-FM reporter Cerise Castle shared videos taken during Thursday's protest on Twitter. The videos showed people wearing masks while gathered outside of Getty House, the mayor's official residence, as protest organizers delivered speeches.
BLM Los Angeles' action plan for "#BlockGarcetti" takes issue with the city's rising population of homeless residents and accuses Garcetti of "disappearing on the city in pursuit of personal gains." The chapter's protest strategy includes encouraging participants to use hashtags like "#BlockGarcetti," #Garcettiville" and "F***Garcetti" while sharing photos and videos from the protests online.
