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.
