Last chance to save LA's South Central Farm

The South Central Farm, which is believed to be the largest urban community garden in the United States, will disappear shortly unless members of the public lend a helping hand. Created by the City of Los Angeles after the 1992 Rodney King uprising, the 14-acre farm in South Central Los Angeles, offers plots of land that 350 low-income families use to grow their own food. The City of Los Angeles sold the land it to a developer in a backroom deal.

The farmers held off bulldozers by legal action, but the developer recently received approval from the court to evict them. The Trust for Public Land, a national, nonprofit, land conservation organization that is working to save the farm, has until Monday, May 22, 2006, to raise approximately $10 million to purchase the land. They are part of the way there, but need several million more.

If anybody can find this from a more credible source, please post.

Here is one link

Wolfe, I am unsure about the credibility of anything in LA :rolleyes: this link has a bit more detail.

And to keep it gun related

“We won this land in the sweat and blood of our people in the 1992 uprising,” Dele Ailemen, a native of Nigeria and an organizer with the South Central Coalition I said dang did I miss the revolution.:eek:

I just started a similar thread here, we had some pretty violent "civil gatherings over this, and it is definitly more than 14-15 Acres

Sounds like political corruption and big buisness trying to get the upperhand over the weak and poor. What else is new.

Could anything have been done by the people who used that land to prevent this, rather than try to raise more than ten million dollars at the last minute?

Here in my home town, there is a man apparently living on the roof of a buisness to help raise awareness and four thousand dollars for orphans and homeless people the world over. Go to www.getmikedown.com to see the details. While this is a good cause, we have starving and homeless people right here in town, usually I have to chase them off the hotel property every morning at my job as a desk clerk. Kind of funny, he's raising money for homeless the world over, when our homeless shelter here just closed last week due to lack of funding.

My point is it's good to see people getting active and trying to fight for what they want. What are they going to do though, if like in other cities, the city simply appropriates the land for developement regardless of who owns it. It's happened before, (a case in Chicago about mechanic's being thrown out of their buisnesses as I remember it). Does LA have laws that prevent this?:cool:
 
I was kind of with you G31 until......

Okay I should have gone bowling instead of continuing to look for more articles on this......this one here, well it just really Irks me here comes the ZOG

http://www.aztlan.net/jewish_mafia_terrorize_campesinos.htm :barf:

I mean really the had my support for a little bit. There are several postings on Anarchist websites also.

Overall the land has an interesting history, LA uses Eminient Domain so they can put some ol recycling/waste energy production plant in a poor neighborhood. Neighborhood rallies against it, and the land sits. People (mostly immigrants), see the wide open spaces and do the right thing, get a use permit, and grow stuff. Old owner decides to use the laws of LA/CA to get his land back, and now wants to evict the squatters.

Now if I was the land owner.....I'd let my stomach do the talking and let them farm the land for the small fee of traditional meals and food from their home countries:D

Which point were you with me on until...

Until what? I don't think I've personally ever heard of the Jewish Mafia. Although if the Italians can do it, why not the Jews. I know I didn't post anything about it.:confused:
 
Clarification

Sorry for the mixup, lack of sleep last night. I was with you here

That was until I stumbled across the AZTLAN link. It sounds like rehashed white supremacist garbage, ZOG, and the New World Order.

Reference Mike, it is rather ironic he is raising money for orphanges in Africa, right after your homeless shelter closes.

anyways sorry for the confusion earlier,
