The A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition is calling on all progressive people to mobilize support for the South Central Farm. If you can come to the Farm, please protest the unjust eviction of the Farmers today.
Emergency Alert: Police Evicting South Central Farmers
Take Action to Save the Farm Today
Today, Tuesday, June 13
Corner of 41st St and Alameda, LA
This morning at 5:00 am, the police began evicting the South Central Farmers from their land. Hundreds of protesters are now at the Farm and outside the fences protesting this unjust action as it is happening. The A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition fully supports the struggle of the South Central Farmers to keep their land for use by the community. We are currently at the Farm and are urging all supporters and progressive people to converge on the Farm today to stop the police eviction of the farmers.
Below is an urgent message from the South Central Farmers:
At this moment, the South Central Farm is under siege. If you live in LA or in the surrounding area, we urge you to come to the farm to keep the protesters and farmers safe from LA County Sheriffs and the LAPD. The immediate area around the Farm has been blocked off by the police, limiting access to the site. Spontaneous rallies of support have sprouted on the perimeters of the farm with crowds increasing in size as the morning passes.
Protesters still inside the Farm are being physically removed and arrested. The easiest access is to come from the South side of the farm coming north on Alameda or to head east towards the Farm on 41st or any other streets that run east/west bound. Once again, this is the Red Alert! The Sheriffs have begun and are carrying out the eviction! Mobilize as many people as you come to continue to protest this oppressive action arrests have already been made. It is still unconfirmed but there are also reports that a protester was carried out on a stretcher. Bulldozers positioned nearby have began breaking through the fences. Once again, please converge to the Farm. Thank you for your support.
