TELLING OUR OWN STORY ABOUT THE EVENT
AND THE CITY WE ARE HERE TO BUILD
We cannot rely on the city and those who call themselves leaders to give us the kind
of successful sustainability that we need to get us out of the Food Emergency we are in right now.
I was amazed by the number of various ethic farmers from various traditions who showed up
to the Grow Strong event.
I taped some of Malakii's comments.
I was doing "color" through the event, asking different participants to make
comments and share their excitement.
These videos and images will supplement the Youtube education that Ian plans to get up within a week.
We already have a perfect technology--in our plants--to for Cultivating Food Justice.
There are farmers, the Banto, the Lebanese, so many others at the IRC New Roots Garden--
if we set them free, and set every lawn free, we can feed ourselves.
We cannot wait for the codes to shift.
We have to take action now to keep inspiring each other and planting
and lending support now for all the good projects and community members.
OUR CITY WIDE PLAN
We need a plan for Cultivating Food Justice in San Diego that is what we are asking of the city
to get out of our current food emergency and make sure we have a plan to feed our communities.
We are the leaders of our city because we are striving to keep the beat with nature.
We cannot wait for those who do not know how to feed us well to be the leaders.
Some of our elected reps may be in positions of leadership, but it is the core leaders who i witnessed at the
event who are the true leaders of our city and have the power. The power is in the plants growing
and the cooperative we displayed. That is the true power.
I salute you and all the others on our committee for a tremendous job of working together.
I was tremendously inspired to get a little closer to some of you.
Thank you.
CITY HEIGHTS
City Heights will never be the same for me,
and I imagine the City itself will never be the same.
The images we took tell the story.
SPEAK OUT COMMENTS
I want to encourage everyone to go to the Speak out Pages and make a comment.
I would like to see the food justice committee
make a contribution to KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING
I would like to see Kristin be funded to put in about 20 more hours
that are paid, somewhere around $200.00
I would like to put in about 20 more hours working with the photos and "color" videos I was making
and write some stories that can come under the budget of videography or followup.
Continue to Cultivate Food Justice!

THESE ARE OUR AIMS
1-To support mobilization of one Farmers’ Market in our local area, the Hillcrest Farmers’ Market in San Diego. To continue to work with local organic farmers and help them sell more of their produce.
2-To continue to develop a 1/3 acre parcel of land near San Diego State College named the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community Growing Grounds where those who live here and who live around the world may study our process of learning how to keep the beat with nature through learning to live together cooperatively as a household that seeks to live in harmony with the earth. The motto of the house will be Keep The Beet. Through growing a simple beet in a pot, we can regain our beat with nature. Not all in the house garden. Some like to prepare food. Others help with other jobs, or rent. The land, as of January 2010 is being refinanced. A Trust to hold the land is being explored. The Seed Dream would be to leave a museum and park for future generations to learn from this experiment in cooperative living that has been going on since the early 1970′s. The intent is that what we learn here can help others, and Washington, understand and adapt to some of the shifts being asked of all of us now.
3- To develop relationships with those who influence Washington and government. A vast coalition across all political, religious, and philosophical lines has now formed. Mainstream media needs to be reached through bloggers filling the gap where journalism once told all points of view. Elected leaders need to be encouraged to follow the principles expressed in the song “America The Beautiful.”
4- We see the world as we know it now coming to an end. A Shift has already happened. It is for each of us to adapt to the earth and relearn the laws of nature, rather than attempt to further adapt nature to our ways. The source of our economic and health crisis is that we have lost our beat with nature. We can regain the beet through becoming once again a nation of gardeners who live in a world of gardeners. One Pot+One person=You are a Gardener. Start to grow your own food now.
