The 14 acre South Central Farm was bull-dozed on July 5th, the day 
after the national celebration of war.  Many of those who 
participated in the actions that day to stop the bull-dozer are now 
facing some relatively serious charges.

We urge you all to contact the Los Angeles District Attorney's 
offices at (and demand that the charges be dropped or reduced in each 
of our cases. Our actions that day are in line with our fundamental 
belief that people creating a place free from gangs and drugs, a 
place that is bringing life to a community by providing basic 
sustenance should be given priority over the land.  The campesino's 
have given the last 14 years of their lives to the farm; they have 
raised children, teaching them how to grow their own food so they 
could be more self-sufficient; they took a junkyard and gave it life. 
What has Ralph Horowitz done nothing!

Here are the arrestee's and their associated charges.

Hollie Enrique - 1 count of misdemeanor trespassing and 1 count of 
misdemeanor vandalism.
Martha Escudero - 2 counts of misdemeanor trespassing, 1 count of 
resisting arrest and 1 count of misdemeanor vandalism.
Sarah Sage - 1 count of misdemeanor vandalism and misdemeanor trespassing.
Steven Murphy - 4 counts of trespassing, 3 counts of resisting 
arrest, 1 count of misdemeanor destruction of property and 1 count of 
resisting arrest.
Luigi Petrigh - 1 count of misdemeanor vandalism and 1 count of 
misdemeanor trespassing.
Robert Fofrich - 2 counts of misdemeanor vandalism and 1 count of trespassing.
Jesus, Fonseca - 1 count of misdemeanor trespassing.

The 3 activists with the most serious charges are listed below.

Yolanda Carlin - 1 count of misdemeanor vandalism, 2 counts of 
trespassing and 1 felony count of assault on a police officer (for 
allegedly throwing a milk crate at a cop).
Jordan Murray - Felony vandalism.  Other charges may be added next 
week after her arraignment.
