Pro- and anti-LGBTQ+ activists are again expected to meet at the Glendale Unified School District office for the final board of education meeting of the year, two weeks after demonstrations at the district office broke out in violence.

Law enforcement declared an unlawful assembly after fighting broke out outside the Glendale Unified School District building.

“We are committed to ongoing, active participation and engagement in matters concerning our children’s education and the protection of our LGBTQ+ neighbors,” the group said in a statement. “However, it is equally important to prioritize safety for our families and the Glendale community as a whole when meetings are being used to generate dangerous street conflicts and social media disinformation.”

At least 30 Glendale police officers stood across the building’s parking lot monitoring the gathering groups. Wooden striped barriers and rolls of fluorescent crowd control wire were stacked in the center of the parking lot. The Glendale Police Department issued a statement Tuesday that “unlawful conduct ... including violence, will not not be tolerated.”
