DESCRIPTION:The South Central Farmers desperately need our help to prevent the 14-acre 
 urban farm on which they depend from being destroyed. In recent days, 
 bulldozers have moved onto the property, escorted by the LAPD.\n\nDespite 
 this threat, dozens of organizations and thousands of concerned people from 
 around the world are coming together with one voice to call for the 
 preservation of the farm and justice for the South Central Farmers.\n\nA 
 series of International Solidarity Days will take place this weekend around 
 the globe – and many Bay Area organizations are sponsoring a Day of 
 Action with music, speakers, and food this Saturday at the Grand Lake 
 Farmers Market in Oakland (see below for full details).\n\nPlease join us 
 in taking a stand for the South Central Farmers!\n\nToward self-reliance, 
 renewal, and justice,\n\n- Aaron Lehmer and the Bay Area Relocalize 
 team\n\n\nCALL TO ACTION!\n\nSouth Central Farm International Day of

 Worldwide!\n\nWHERE: Grand Lake Farmers Market, Oakland (near Lake Merritt 
 at the corner of Grand and Lake parkway alongside the 580 Freeway)

 \n\nCall to Action:\n\nJoin the South Central Farm International Solidarity 
 Days to defend the rights of small farmers so they may continue to live and 
 farm with dignity while producing a healthier, safer community for all!  We 
 will be raising awareness for the small farming movement and its critical 
 place in the green/environmental landscape with special attention paid to 
 urban farms, family farms, global environmental justice, food security, and 
 green development.\n\nThe Struggle Continues!\n\nAlthough 350 family 
 farmers were evicted from the 14-acre South Central Farm on June 13 the 
 movement to protect this community grows each day. We are now gearing up 
 for a July 12 court date that will set the wheels of justice in motion and 
 challenge the legality of the sale of the farm. We are raising global 
 awareness for our cause – and for the cause of social justice worldwide. 
 Join the international social network committed to justice for people and 
 the planet.\n\nWhat You Can Do:\n\n1.  If you do only one act of 
 solidarity, then call or e-mail L.A. City Council Woman Jan Perry. Ask Ms. 
 Perry to work with the people of Los Angeles and broker a win-win deal for 
 the farmers, the land developer and the city. Implore her to help negotiate 
 the sale the land to the farmers. E-mail her at 
 Councilperson.Perry@lacity.org or jan.perry@lacity.org and telephone her at 
 (213) 473-7009. \n\n2.  Print flyers from our website and distribute at 
 supermarkets, farmers markets, Church or temple\n\n3.  Protest in front of
