San Pedro residents gather near Port of LA to protest tariffs
San Pedro residents gathered near the Port of Los Angeles on Saturday, June 28, to protest tariffs, holding up signs saying they will increase prices, impact jobs and cause cargo to decrease. Among those slated to turn out was U.S. Rep. Nanette Barragan, D-San Pedro.
The demonstration was put together by multiple San Pedro neighborhood organizers, who urged a peaceful gathering by volunteers along Harbor Boulevard between Third and Sixth streets, in the waterfront and downtown districts, on Saturday.

The ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles have already felt the effect of tariffs — and the on-and-off-again nature of the Trump administration’s trade policies — with the latter marking the lowest monthly output in more than two years in May.
Tariffs continue to hit labor jobs and consumer prices as well, Gene Seroka, the executive director of the Port of Los Angeles, said earlier this month.
The Trump administration, for its part, has repeatedly said other countries have taken advantage of lax U.S. trade policies, adding that tariffs are a tool to bring other nations, China in particular, to the negotiating table.
But for the LA and Long Beach ports, which combine to comprise the busiest port complex in the nation, the tariffs have created uncertainty.
“Unless long-term, comprehensive trade agreements are reached soon, we’ll likely see higher prices and less selection during the year-end holiday season,” Seroka said during a virtual briefing in mid-June. “The uncertainty created by fast-changing tariff policies has caused hardships for consumers, businesses and labor.”
