There is also an encampment on ground throughout the 14 acre farm. The call has been made for anyone who would like to join the encampment and help defend the farm.

The city has placed a ban on any new Wal Mart stores. And it is believed that Wal Mart is working to overturn that ban. The covert construction of a “warehouse” is seen as a possible first move by the corporation to bypass the will of the people of Los Angeles.
