Thousands gathered in front of the Los Angeles City Hall Nov. 8, protesting the city’s upcoming December deadline for terminating all city employees and contractors unvaccinated against COVID-19.

The city council voted in August to require its employees to be fully vaccinated by Dec. 18. Shortly after the approval, Mayor Eric Garcetti warned that those who refuse vaccination “should be prepared to lose their job.”
