LA South Central Urban Farmers Fighting Eviction.

Posted by Alex in Politics, Travel & Places on April 30, 2006 at 11:26 am


For the last 13 years, about 250 families in the depressed inner city of South Central Los Angeles have depended on an urban farm. Now, they are facing eviction as a new Wal-Mart is coming to town.

The issue is actually more complex: turns out that the farm is on private property, and the owner is not being compensated.

    The South Central farmers have less than 30 days to raise 1 million dollars to avoid evicition. If anyone can help with any donation, that would be great.
