A new generation of social justice activists, known locally as the Youth Action Coalition, organized a Peace Rally and March on Friday starting at the town clock. The march and rally included youth from local high schools, youth that have been squating at the town clock, the Santa Cruz Peace Coalition, and others. Many people joined the march as it swept from the town clock down Pacific to Laurel and then back to the town clock. Today's actions organized by the Youth Action Coalition are part of a rapidly growing social justice movement with strong roots in middle schools, high schools, community colleges, and universities throughout the world.
