Overview

  • Angel City FC distributed 10,000 bilingual T-shirts reading “Los Angeles Is For Everyone” at a recent home match.
  • All net proceeds from the shirt sales are being donated to Camino Immigration Services, a nonprofit law firm representing undocumented migrants.
  • Bob Iger and Willow Bay approved and consulted on the initiative despite typically avoiding political controversies in their business ventures.
  • The campaign has drawn both praise for community solidarity and criticism over potential financial risks for the NWSL franchise.
  • Other local teams, including the Dodgers, have also clashed with ICE by denying agents access to stadium facilities during recent immigration protests.
