In the past year, over 125 weekly neighborhood vigils have sprung up on street corners all over the Southland, generating an amazing movement of autonomous, spontaneous grassroots activism on a scale never before seen in Southern California, or anywhere else in the nation. Although numbers are down, a committed core of activists remain, and are beginning to work together to support each other and share experiences, ideas, and strengths. Through this, vigil activists hope to build a decentralized network of community-based peace and justice efforts to pool our resources and harness the tremendous spirit of the Southland vigils to areas of shared activity, while celebrating the diversity and local autonomy that has so empowered the vigil phenomenon.
The first working meeting for the Congress of Vigils, Communities Organizing for Peace and Justice, is taking place:
