Activist groups that will be out in force during the Democratic convention include the National Chicano Moratorium Committee, which will hold a Deport the two-party system rally on August 12. On August 13, while Democrats cavort with corporate contributors on Santa Monica's Pier 5, Global Exchange and other groups plan a Beach Party on the sands below. In other developments, the progressive "LA Weekly" will go daily during convention week, distributing 60,000 copies of special editions featuring reports from inside the hall and on the streets.
