Cars Caravan Across San Diego County To Protest Police Violence

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA — Demonstrations, marches and protests against police brutality and racism continued over the weekend in cities across San Diego County, including one where protesters socially distanced inside their own vehicles.

A caravan of hundreds of cars traveled Saturday throughout San Diego County to protest police brutality and racial injustice. The moving protest gave supporters a safe way to participate in the movement amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Organized by Black Lives Matter San Diego, the route included 14 places throughout the county. Organizers said the caravan purposefully traveled through sites where people have experienced police violence.

The several hours-long caravan started at noon in La Jolla, before heading to Santee, City Heights, National City and the Otay Mesa Detention Center.

Event organizers encouraged participants to stay inside their vehicles, drive in one lane and put on their hazard lights. As they drove across the county, drivers honked their horns and participants held signs outside car windows.
