On Monday, a small band of anti-war protesters gathered outside at the corner of Alameda and First Streets in Little Tokyo to protest the second court-martial of Lt. Ehren Watada, the first commissioned officer to refuse to deploy to Iraq. The vigil was coordinated by the Nikkei for Civil Rights & Redress and attended by members of the Global Women's Strike, Payday Men's Network, Military Families Speak Out, the Mark Twain Club, Whittier Peace Coalition, the International Socialist Organization, ANSWER, and others.

More than half of those currently living in vehicles, in the area, are poor artists. A group known as the Venice Justice Committee is rallying against the ban. Full Story
