Interview with Leslie Morava on evictions in South Central L.A. estimated 45 arrests including Daryl Hannah and John Quigley trying to keep 14 acre farm for the people of South Central L.A. Interviewed on Free Radio Santa Cruz 101fm

An early morning raid began this 5-hour long eviction that is still in process. Trees are being cut down, bulldozers are leveling the families’ food, hundreds of protesters are on site rallying with tears in their eyes as the nation’s largest urban farm is destroyed before them. The L.A.P.D. is on tactical alert as fire ladders and cherry pickers are being brought in to remove the tree-sitters. The 350 families created this oasis 14 years ago in the wake of the 1992 uprising when this land was offered to the community by the then Mayor as a form of mitigation.

Call the Mayor, Jan Perry, Horowitz, and Sherrif's: Jan perry 323-846-2651 or 213-473-7009; Mayor Villaraigosa 213-978-0600, Ralph Horowitz office 310 440-7878
