Protesters Demand Stronger Stance from L.A. Dodgers on Immigration Raids

Protestors Rally Outside Dodger Stadium

• 📣 A protest took place outside Dodger Stadium, organized by a Highland Park organization, calling on the team to take a larger stand against ICE and do more for the immigrant community.
• 💔 Many protestors, who are described as die-hard Dodger fans, feel abandoned by the team and consider the $1 million pledge a "slap in the face."

Criticism of Dodgers' Donation

• 💰 The group called the Dodgers' pledge of $1 million to help immigrant families "a joke," claiming the team makes significantly more than that at each game.
• 🎯 Protestors are asking for a $10 million donation to start, with a request for Magic Johnson to match it, bringing the total to $20 million, and then an additional $10 million from each of the 25 players on the roster.

Calls for Action and Boycott

• ✊ Activists are circulating petitions urging the Dodgers to speak out against the ICE raids.
• 🗣️ Protestors want to hear from the players individually to share their personal stories.
• 🚫 The group is calling for an all-out boycott of the team and urging fans not to attend games until the Dodgers show more support for their fan base.
• 📢 The Dodgers have stated they do not intend to make additional announcements in the coming days regarding how they will continue to help those impacted by the raids with food, other basic essentials, and mental health services.
