South Central Farm, the 14-acre urban garden serving the needs of a low-income area of Los Angeles, is still fighting to save the farm from developers. You can help by participating in South Central Farm International Solidarity Days. I've posted an update with all the details at the bottom of my original post on their plight.
Update, 5 July:
They are bulldozing the farm. I'm ashamed of my city today.
You can still help. From the South Central Farmers:
If you do only one act of solidarity, then call or e-mail L.A. city council woman Jan Perry. Ask Ms. Perry to work with the people of Los Angeles and broker a win-win deal for the farmers, the land developer and the city. Implore her to help negotiate the sale the land to the farmers. councilperson.perry@lacity.org or jan.perry@lacity.org and telephone here 213.473.7009.
Her bio can be found here. She states she is committed to green space. I guess we'll see.
