From belladsx:
Who would imagine that at that concrete jungle intersection of Alameda And 41st Avenue in Los Angeles would sprout a garden so fertile that it nourishes thousands of people with organic fruits, vegetables, and herbs, many from throughout South America, many available nowhere other than here at the LA URBAN GARDEN, which has previously been connected with the LA FOOD BANK. Now, it is about to turn off the garden hose, the life blood of this inner-city agricultural community, as one last piece of Earth’s greenery gets swallowed up by concrete progress.
On
February 29th, there will be a benefit solidarity concert at the garden, with Very Be Careful, Mezklah, Fandango Sin Fronteras, Fosforo, DJ David Bonobo, and DJ Late. See
Save Our Garden for details. Go support!

marketing of

Low and moderate income students have become primary targets in a de facto
“Poverty Draft”. Groups like United Teacher Los Angeles Human Rights Committee strive to provide
alternative life choices beyond military enlistment.
