The vice mayor of a tiny Southern California city is under fire after appearing to call on street gangs to organize in the face of immigration sweeps by federal agents in Los Angeles.
That was arguably their most influential program, but I don’t know if I would qualify it as their starting point. I know it’s discussed in Revolutionary Suicide how part of their literal incitation was the pigs being pigs about traffic rules that endangered kids and them basically hamming in a stop sign while arme,d but my recollection is fuzzy.
The reverse, after being decapitated by the FBI, they split and began selling drugs (brought in by the CIA and sold to the gangs) to finance neighborhood protection
Did the panthers start out as a gang? Sorry I don’t know otherwise. But I love them regardless.
no they started out getting a stop sign put in at an intersection, iirc so kids could walk to school
And school lunches for the kids too right?

that was later but unless i’ve been horribly misinformed the first politics thing was literally just some local issue stop sign.
Nice. And it goes to show that starting small can lead to great big things.
