LOS ANGELES, October 22, 2011 – The 16th National Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality held a protest this Saturday with a march from downtown to a rally at MacArthur Park, the site of LAPD’s 2007 May Day attack on a peaceful demonstration for immigrant’s rights.

Many of those marching were family members who have lost loved ones to police violence. Alicia Alvarez of Lynwood came with her family to fight for justice for her son, Jonathon, who was shot and killed by a Lynwood sheriff deputy on October 10, 2010.
About three hundred people took part in the march, some from the on going Occupy LA encampment at city hall. Many of the speakers at the rally cited racism as one of the root causes for police violence. The basic structure of the capitalist economic system was also denounced as a cause of police brutality.

After the march and rally they had a candlelight vigil. Part of this was a performance by Mariella Saba, Illegal/Legal Illegal/Legal.
