    What exactly is it that you need? You have to be much more specific if you want answers.

    Check out local libraries, they might have books or old newspapers. Also look into talking to the organizations that participated in said "demonstrations and campaigns.

    ...revolutionaries are anti-civilisation because we are opposed to what class society defines as 'civilized' and desireable; because class society and 'civilization' are two-sides of the same coin. Hierarchal organisation, parliaments, commerce, property rights, the police, law and order, fences, borders, religious institutions, these are the things that define 'civilization.' These are the institutions upon which 'civilized society' and class society are based; and all of these will be destroyed when capitalism, the state --- when bourgeois society is pulled down and trampled on by the exploited and oppressed in the struggle for liberation. - bleeding gums malatesta

    You should also consider looking into public records. I've never done it myself, but it's worth a look...

    Here is a list of types of public records from wikipedia:

    I suggest you look into topics like:

    -Californian history books (with a socio-political focus)
    -Sources focusing on the anti-war movement in the US, and California in particular
    -you can also look at campus protesting, as well as looking into the history of certain issues in california - be they racism, taxation, etc (you should find information on demonstrations and campaigns therein)

    Just some ideas to help out.
