LOS ANGELES—South Los Angeles families planned a rally on Aug. 16 outside Los Angeles Police Department headquarters and City Hall to demand the city immediately fix their damaged homes and hold officers accountable for a destructive fireworks blast set off by a bomb squad on June 30.
The families are seeking immediate repairs for their homes, immediate financial assistance for everyone affected by the explosion, and a written guarantee from the city that it will pay for housing until repairs are complete and it is safe for the families to return home, along with other demands.
