Today's main event took place at the First Unitarian Church in Downtown LA. Over a million Salvadoran refugees live in Los Angeles, and this church has provided assistance to the community over the years. Today's event drew a crowd of SOA Watch LA members, local activists, church members, and community friends. 
The rest of the day was spent running errands, finding our way through the traffic of LA, and trying to get Carlos a cell phone. The Catholic Worker here is absolutely wonderful; the volunteers made breakfast and dinner, and residents have been very kind. The house is a grand old Victorian, the original farmhouse from the days when East LA was a farming community. The view from the top floor is stunning, as you can see in the picture below. Tomorrow we're off to Loyola High School and the Dolores Mission church.
