Help to Save the Farm!
Friends, I've been staying at the farm when I can. There is much hope there. Please find a way to help out. Please don't ever believe that you are powerless to shape your world, your city, community, or yourself. All things are possible, and we need to work together, everyone of us, so we can see miracles. - Daniel French http://www.southcentralfarmers.org Below is a note from the support committee of the S. Central Farm....... We still need your support! Day 9 of the Community Encampment: As the threat of impending eviction looms, South Central Farm needs your support to preserve the nations largest urban farm, which serves as a 14-acre oasis in the middle of a concrete jungle. This 14-year old community gem functions as an active farm for more than 350 families and fills a local community need for fresh produce, green space and a safe haven in a poverty-stricken region of Los Angeles. What you can do: 1) Come to South Central Farm to join in our community encampment and tree sit. 2) Attend an informational training session at the farm tomorrow (Thursday) from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. to learn effective strategies to support the farmers. If you cant attend the whole session, come for as long as you can! 3) Donate to support the South Central Farmers effort to buy the land and maintain it as a community farm. 4) Drop off supplies used for camping and food at the farm. 5) Walk around the farm every morning, from about 5 a.m. to 9 a.m.. Some believe the sheriffs will attempt an eviction at dawn, which means really early. It would be helpful for us all if there were witnesses who just happended to be walking by, or doing their morning walk etc... to be there, hopefully with cameras, just in case something goes down. 6) Candlelight vigil every night at the farm, 7 p.m. A profound procession in support of the S. Central Farm. 7) Forward this message to friends and family! To find out more or make a donation, please go to http://www.southcentralfarmers.org. By saving this farm we are establishing a precedent, which prioritizes central, local food production, safe open space for children, and the greening of America. Julia Butterfly Hill, who is tree-sitting in the heart of the farm, and has been fasting for 16 days, said today We have to make our cities more livable so people stop leaving them in order to live. Until recently, the concept of sustainability has been predominantly an option available only for the wealthy. This project is about making sustainability available for all. Join us. Support the South Central Farmers to resist the destruction of the South Central Farm.
