HTLA Presents: L.A. On The Margins - Free The Land
Manage episode 425578523 series 3455906
Today we're bringing you another installment of LA on the Margins. This is a collection of pieces produced by students at USC, which profile people in our community as they work through the many challenges we face in our city.
Along South L.A.’s Figueroa Corridor, activists have been calling for the closure of motels they say are complicit in sex trafficking and drug dealing. A campaign called “Free The Land,” run by the nonprofit Community Coalition, seeks to shut these businesses down and convert the buildings for other uses, like housing for L.A.’s unhoused population.
Erick Treviño meets the people behind the campaign, and learns how their own experiences growing up on the corridor have shaped their activism.
