Fire, ellisonz & pinboy marched together in L.A. Sunday for Trayvon Martin (PHOTOS) [View all]
We met up and joined together Sunday afternoon in a march and rally sponsored by the Committee for Justice for Trayvon Martin, which grew out of a similar justice march sponsored by Occupy the Hood L.A. one week earlier. The march to Leimert Park in South (formerly South Central) Los Angeles was followed by a rally there.

Marching (with lots of supportive honking from the street traffic)...
Another (notice the kids in hoodies marching)...
We passed signs of love in the community for President Obama...
Finally, we reach our destination...

L.A.'s New Black Riders, a group styled after the Black Panthers, was there. They chanted, “Trayvon Martin, never again! Oscar Grant, never again! Too black, too strong! All power to the people.”
Jubilee Shine, one of the organizers, urged the crolwd to vote in elections at every level of government...
Fire, ellisonz and I decided against posting a photo of the three of us, but here's one of me...
It was great to meet ellisonz and to see Fire Walk With Me again. We missed U4ikLefty, who was busy at an event across town in Hollywood for the 6-month anniversary of Occupy L.A., but DUers/Occupy Underground members will continue to meet up at L.A. actions.
