From Friday night though Sunday evening Sept. 29, the Los Angeles City Civil + Human Rights and Equity Department (LA Civil Rights) launched its third year of celebrating “LA is For Everyone” — an award-winning public service announcement campaign that city leaders hope encourages Angelenos to embrace the concepts of community, diversity, and anti-hate. During these three nights, well-known Los Angeles landmarks are lit up in a “beautiful mosaic of colors.”
Among the locales where the colorful lights can be seen are the LAX pylons, the historic Union Station downtown, the U.S. Bank Tower, the Los Angeles Zoo, the historic Warehouse No. 1 at the Port of Los Angeles, the Art Deco 1928 Los Angeles City Hall, and other landmarks. According to city officials, the colors used to light up the buildings are also found in “LA for All” posters and billboards across the city.
A complete list of locations is available at LAisForEveryone.com.
“Since 2020, LA Civil Rights has worked to strengthen, promote, and fight to protect Angelenos and LA visitors from hate and discrimination,” LA Civil Rights Executive Director Capri Maddox said in a prepared statement. She said Angelenos have embraced the annual event and “its growth in popularity is part of our intentional awareness campaign that hate has no home in Los Angeles, and we are building an inclusive LA for All.”
Angelenos are encouraged to take photos and share them on social media with the tag @LACivilRights and the hashtag #LAForAllChallenge.
“I’m going to be at Warehouse 1 a little later tonight, and take my picture to be a force multiplier,” L.A. City Councilman Tim McOsker said during Friday’s council meeting. “Join us hand-in-hand as we remind the world that hate has no place in L.A.”
