Demonstrators performed a mile long procession of Sam-bo-il-bae (a Buddhist prayer tradition) from the Korean Consulate down Wilshire Blvd. The Korean farmers are currently resisting removal from their land by force and the demolition of their homes for the construction of a US army base. Joining the demonstration were local farmers from the South Central Farm, members of the Bus Riders Union, and other local peace and justice groups.
