Boycott CD9 for the Destruction of the South Central Farm

by SCF Solidarity Thursday, Jun. 22, 2006 at 4:27 PM

On Jun 13th 2006 Council Person Perry chose to sacrifice the future of South Central for a blood vegeance against the South Central Farmers. She sacrificed millions of dollars for the greening of South Central Los Angeles. We are asking the community to stand in solidarity with those who fought valiantly to preserve the largest contigous open green space in South Central Los Angeles. Send a clear message that the community does not agree with the destruction of the South Central Farm!

Why punish the whole district?

by Look before you leap Thursday, Jun. 22, 2006 at 6:18 PM

Why boycott people who had nothing to do with it?

Go after Perry directly with a recall drive or picket her at her downtown condo on Hope Street but whatever you do talk to the farmers first.

You can do more harm than good with a bad idea that conflicts with the farmers plans.

Think about it.

How?

by johnk Friday, Jun. 23, 2006 at 5:56 PM

This is weird. How do you boycott an entire council district? There's no way to measure the impact (unless a really huge amount of money exits all at once, like a few developers exiting the region).

Also, because the farm is closed, hundreds of people are now buying more food at stores. They're redirecting they money away from non-food to food purchases, or from savings to food. This would somewhat undo a boycott (because food is one of the larger expenses for poor families).

Are all the non-SC supporters of the SC Farm, combined, spending, say, 000 a month in CD 9? Can that be withdrawn from the region in a way that Perry would notice? Because *4weeks*350familes = ,000 / month. If the farm saved those families a week, then the net impact was ,000 per month redirected toward other purchases or to savings.
