LA to clear homeless encampments in Little Tokyo, sparking mixed reactions within the community
“The group J-Town Action & Solidarity opposes the cleanup. The group led a protest against the removal of unhoused individuals from Little Tokyo’s Toriumi Plaza.
‘We’ve been fighting for the right to housing, fighting for their right to human dignity and human rights,’ Steven Chun of J-Town Action & Solidarity said.
L.A. city councilman Kevin de Leon’s office says the city is attempting to address crime in the area while working on getting people housed. They’ve done so successfully for 80 people over the past month.”
