Police keep protesters from entering freeway in Seaside

SEASIDE, Calif. (KION)

Unlike past protests on the Central Coast, Friday's brought two communities of people together.

Things became intense when protesters tried to march on Highway 1 at Fremont Street, Friday.

Police officers managed to keep protesters off with concerns for their safety, standing in line with batons. Eventually, protesters complied.

This demonstration was considered a black and brown solidarity march.

Protesters are urging people of color to unify under a cause: to end racial injustice and racism.

It stared at Seaside High School and finished at CSUMB, where they met up with protesters who marched from Salinas.
