This kind of work takes time, patience and dedication to building a people's movement and it should be recognized and remembered. The actions that took place throughout the week were mostly marches. From the first march for Mumia to the last march for immigrant rights, they generally ended at the Staples Center where the Democrats were meeting. Many of the marches connected local issues and struggles with national and international issues and struggles. Like the march and civil disobedience action at the Ramparts police station.
Ramparts is currently under federal investigation as a result of police brutality scandals.
The actions were also organized with the context of a certain strategy. The strategy was about building the local activist community in Los Angles, as well as the larger movement for social change. The focus on community organizing and local issues put into the context of global capitalism was one part of the strategy, and the other was tactics. The marches in LA mostly had legal permits. There were action guidelines for the marches which emphasized non-violence and refraining from property destruction.
