The Farm is being Bulldozed! Let's not mourn but continue to fight for
its life and the livelihood of the South Central Farmers!
Over 50 arrests have been made, a few demonstrators have suffered blows
from batons and the bulldozers were sent in to demolish the blooming
crops, indigenous plants and 14 years of love that have been put into
the farm. We are continuing to stand strong with tears in our eyes. It
is not over yet! The community cannot be defeated. Join us to
peacefully protest the police attack on our community.
A candlelight vigil will be held tonight at 7:00pm as we have for 21
nights at the Farm. There is police perimeter set up so be respectful
of that barrier for your safety and the safety of the rest of the
community. We want safety for our families and the land to be returned
to the community. We are gathered at the corner of 41st St & Long
Beach Ave. Los Angeles, CA.
-please bring candles and supplies such as water or food to share as we
have been dispossessed.
A demonstration at the mayor's house is also being organized
simultaneously with the vigil at the Farm. Here's the info:
At 7pm tonight we will be gathering at Villaraigosa's
house in protest of the actions taken by the state
against the community today.
Bring banners, instruments, chants and signs.
What: PROTEST/VIGIL AT ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA'S HOUSE
When: 7pm today, Tuesday
Where: the "mayor's mansion"
605 S. Irving St., LA
(In Hancock Park near Wilton and Wilshire)
JOIN US IN EXUBERANT SHOW OF PEOPLE'S POWER AND
OUTRAGE AGAINST THOSE BEHIND THE DESTRUCTION OF THE
FARM!
Thank you for all your support and dedication to the struggle of the
South Central Farmers.
