ALERT!
Los Angeles: South Central Farm Under Siege! Arrests, Bulldozers on Site!
The immediate area around the Farm has been blocked off by the authorities limiting access to the site. Spontaneous rallies of support have sprouted on these perimeters with crowds increasing in size as the morning passes. Protesters still inside the Farm are being physically removed and arrested.
The easiest access is to come from the South side of the farm coming north on Alameda or to head east towards the Farm on 41st or any other streets that run east/west bound.
Once again, this is the Red Alert! The Sheriffs have begun and are carrying out the eviction! Mobilize as many people as you come to continue to protest this oppressive action
Arrests have already been made.
It is still unconfirmed but there are also reports that a protester was carried out on a stretche.
Bulldozer positioned nearby have began breaking through the fences.
Once again, please converge to the Farm.

SOUTH CENTRAL FARMERS EVICTION HAPPENING NOW
5 A.M. SQUADRON OF HELICOPTERS & SQUAD CARS CAME TO EVICT FARMERS & PEACEFUL SUPPORTERS
WHEN:
Tuesday June 13, NOW
WHAT:
Eviction of South Central Farmers and Supporters
Darryl Hannah and John Quigley still inside the property, other peaceful protestors conducting nonviolent civil disobedience.
WHERE:
South Central Farm
4000 S. Long Beach Ave.
Los Angeles, CA 90058
(Media enter on 40th Pl. through Long Beach Ave. Park on 41st )
WHY:
For over three weeks supporters have been onsite at the South Central Farm, the nations largest urban farm, which serves as a 14-acre oasis in the middle of L.A.s concrete jungle. This 14-year-old community gem functions as an active farm for more than 350 families and fills a local need for fresh produce, green space and a safe haven in a poverty-stricken region of Los Angeles. The farmers, community volunteers and celebrity supporters are in a daily state of peril anxiously awaiting the farms fate.
The South Central Farm is a gem in the Los Angeles landscape. It supplies local communities with fresh, organic produce, gives children a safe environment to play and learn in, and provides a successful example of urban sustainability for the rest of the world to follow

CALL ANYONE YOU KNOW IN LA, MAKE SURE THEY CAN GET OUT THERE AND PROTECT THE FARM!
