There will be a discussion on Anarchists People of Color and creating a 
revolutionary strategy and revolutionary organization facilitated by 
Revolutionary Autonomous Communites, a revolutionary organization that 
Cop Watch Los Angeles works with and is part of. RAC (Revolutionary 
Autonomous Communities) is a federation of oppressed communities and 
community councils, working to build liberated zones. It is an 
anti-imperialist organization with a horizontal structure 
(anti-authoritarian). It is made up of oppressed people (people of color 
all around, working class, women, queer, unemployed) and hopes to build 
a revolutionary movement in our communities, through building autonomy, 
self-determination, self-organization and self-defense through different 
means, as in community programs.

The Youth Justice Coalition is working to build a youth-led movement to 
challenge race, gender and class inequality in the Los Angeles County 
juvenile injustice system. We want to tear down a system that has 
brought the massive lock-up of people of color, widespread police 
brutality and corruption, total disrespect for youth and communities' 
Constitutional rights, and the build-up of the world's largest prison 
system. We use direct action organizing, advocacy and activist arts to 
agitate, expose, and annoy the people in charge in order to upset power 
and bring about real change.
