One very inspiring LA Activist who I met in the Economics of Peace Conference in Sonoma is Orland Bishop.
There is a video of him sharing some of his views on The Global Oneness Project which states "L.A.-based community activist Orland Bishop explains how the American economic system that assigns value to competition and scarcity of resources undermines oneness, which is inherently relational and abundant. Although the capitalist system as a whole resists investing in human development, people can create new systems that reinforce each individual's value instead of encouraging struggle and competition by making alternative agreements based on collective inspiration."
