DESCRIPTION:
Mr. Tezozomoc, one of the elected leaders of the South

Central Farmers, will be our guest and speak on "Food

Sovereignty: Urban Food Desert Scapes" at the L.A.

Greens' Earth Day meeting, Wed.,

April 18 at 7:00 PM.

Food sovereignty is the right of peoples to healthy

and culturally appropriate food produced through

ecologically sound and sustainable methods, and their

right to define their own food and agriculture

systems.

For fourteen years the South Central Farmers

cultivated the land at 41st and Alameda, surrounded by

an urban desert of warehouses and rail lines,

providing crops for 350 low income families.

From 2002 to 2006 Tezozomoc, along with fellow leader

Rufina Juarez, lead the struggle to resist eviction

from the Farm for the sake of corporate profit and political

maneuvering.

Today the South Central Farmers continue their mission

to bring healthy produce to economically disadvantaged

inner city communities.

The South Central Farmers Health and Education Fund

celebrates the depth and power of our earth and her

resources to give and to teach. In a community and

city surrounded by concrete and pollution the SCFHEF

seeks to continue their work of connecting the care

and stewardship of the earth with the struggle for

justice and equality for all.

There will be vegetarian food, bring a dish to share

if you'd like.

Wednesday, April 18, 7pm

Peace Center, 8124 W. Third Street (@Crescent Heights, just west of Fairfax), Los Angeles

parking behind building
