My thoughts July 7:

From the above website:

WHAT:
INTERNATIONAL DAYS OF SOLIDARITY WITH THE SOUTH CENTRAL FARM
WHEN:
JULY 7,8,9
WHERE: THE WORLD
Background:
The South Central Farm was originally given to the very poor largely Mexican , Central American immigrant communities in South Central Los Angeles after the uprising of 1992 L.A. Riots. The gesture made by the mayor at the time Bradley was offered as an attempt to heal from the pains of the police brutality, poverty, and betrayal already felt by the communtiy at that time.
Since then, over 350 families, equaling thousands of people, have been growing crops, herbs, medicines, and foods that in many instances are not native the the United States, using seeds that have been passed down from generations and feeding families that otherwise were suffering from lack of nutrition.
In 2003, the city of L.A. illegally "sold" this land to developer Ralph Horowitz in a "backroom deal" without the consultation or consent from t he farmers.
Since then, the struggle has escalated steadily during last 3 years in efforts to keep the land that the city had once left as a dump that the farmers have now turned into a green, healthy, safe haven in the midst of air polluted violent streets of South Central L.A.
Below are fotos from today's 2nd day of bulldozing as community members respond. The request made by the farmers was since yesterday several protestors were arrested again iand beaten badly, to not perform any more civil disobedience on their behalf. Farmers have relied on much support from outside companeros since the status of many Mexican and Central American immigrants makes the farmers themselves often very vulnerable to any sort of political action in this country.
