Revolutionary Autonomous
Communities' Food Program
The Revolutionary Autonomous Communities has created a food program where we
are empowering ourselves and others to become self-sustainable.
The Food Program is a mutual-aid project where people themselves are organizing
and distributing food in their own neighborhoods. This is not charity, we do
not believe that change will happen this way. This is self-empowerment, where
working class neo-colonies are feeding themselves, and organizing to feed
themselves.
Since the first week of November, 2007, RAC has distibuted much needed
grocieries to the needy workers of the area. Las week more than 200 people
standing in line received food packages.
You can join us every Sunday at 1:30 PM. Meet at the SE Corner of Wilshire and
Parkview in MacArthur Park.
RAC Mission Statement:
We feel that this system is killing our people by what the corporations feed us
or don't feed us. At the same time there is an abundance of healthy food that
goes to waste. They would rather let food go to waste than allow the prices of
food in the market to drop. Then they disconnect people (all indigenous and
colonized people) from the land, which a free and independent people need to
survive. They centralize power and resources in the hands of the few, this is
how they keep oppressed people dependent on a white-supremacist, patriarchal,
capitalist-imperialist system.
RAC's Food Program is a way that we can work with supporters and other
organizations to feed healthy food to our communities. We want people to
connect with each other, to pick up and distribute the food amongst themselves.
We will support, help connect people and to supply whatever resources we can.
Through this process our goal is to connect our communities and to take them
back. Our overall goal is to regain our necessary connection to the land. We
need land to survive, and the land belongs to us, not the colonizer. We want to
relearn how to live off the land and how to truly be self-sustainable.
We're Still Here, We Never Left
