Please come out and see the farm TONIGHT IF YOU CAN for a reggae
show and
vigil - it is unbelieveable and the energy is on fire right now.
We encourage you to
come out AT ANY TIME especially over the Memorial Day weekend to
visit
this remarkable oasis. We have lovely vigils every night at 7 pm with some sort of entertainment to follow. We occasionally have open mike during the day, too! Bring your instruments.
May 26 starting with a 7 pm walk & vigil:
Reggae Jam @ The South Central Farm - 8:30 pm
Please circulate this email freely to all your friends and lists,
post it
on weblogs and myspace and anywhere you deem fit. Spreading the word is key to helping this palce survuve - which incidentally will take a miracle of love.
Thank you and sincerely, Leslie *********** Help save the nation's largest urban farm, South Central
Farm.
By showing your support, you can preserve an organic farm to save
14 acres
of beautiful land in the heart of LA. The SOUTH CENTRAL FARM helps the area's less fortunate survive by growing food for their families and farmer's markets as well as providing a safe area for their children to play and experience nature.
There has been a 70% crime rate decrease in the area since the
farm was
created. 350 poverty-level families currently farm the land
at South
Central Farm. The farm, founded in 1993 as a grant from Mayor Tom Bradley to area farmers, is an oasis housing 500 trees and a burgeoning population of birds and butterflies in the middle of what can honestly be called downtown LA's concrete and environmental wasteland. Julia Butterfly Hill, Daryl Hannah, Joan Baez and artist activist John Quigley are staging an ongoing tree-sit on-site to protest the sale of the farm to a major area developer. Forced evacuation by the Los Angeles sheriff's department is imminent.
Donate as much as you can give!
