The Coalition attended the Board of Police Commissioners meeting and condemned LAPD’s punching of Alexander Mitchell, a 28 year old man who was brutally assaulted by LAPD while handcuffed.

On Wednesday 7/31:

The Coalition helped mobilized a variety of groups against a motion in city council that would offer up to $2M in city funding for groups like Magen Am, a private Zionist militia. Recognizing the overwhelming opposition to the motion, council members Yaroslavksy and Blumenfield withdrew the motion before the meeting even started.

On Thursday 8/1:

This week’s episode of Radio Insurrection featured a conversation about the defeated motion to fund private Zionist militia’s, and the mayor’s recent veto of a city council motion that would put LAPD Disciplinary Board reforms on the November ballot.
