 Action for a Just World, a project of American Jewish World Service and 
 AVODAH: The Jewish Service Corps, invites you to fill your heart with 
 stories of actual people experiencing injustices in the food system, as 
 told through film. Let’s deepen the conversation as we prepare to take 
 action around the U.S. Farm Bill in 2012. \n\nThis three part series will 
 deepen our awareness of food justice at the local, national, and 
 international level*, and move us to take action on the US Farm Bill in 
 2012. Learn more about intersecting issues and our responsibility to 
 respond. Each session will feature a documentary film, discussion with 
 Jewish thought sources, delicious eco-kosher refreshments, and time to 
 socialize and network in community. (No prior knowledge of food justice 
 issues and/or Jewish text is required or presumed; all are welcome.)\n\nOur 
 series begins on the local level with the award-winning documentary, The 
 Garden: The fourteen-acre community garden at 41st and Alameda in South 
 Central Los Angeles is the largest of its kind in the United States. 
 Started as a form of healing after the devastating L.A. riots in 1992, the 
 South Central Farmers have since created a miracle in one of the 
 country’s most blighted neighborhoods. Growing their own food. Feeding 
 their families. Creating a community.\n\nBut now, bulldozers are poised to 
 level their 14-acre oasis. If everyone told you nothing more could be done, 
 would you give up?\n\nThe Garden has the pulse of verité with the 
 narrative pull of fiction, telling the story of the country’s largest 
 urban farm, backroom deals, land developers, green politics, money, 
 poverty, power, and racial discord. The film explores and exposes the fault 
 lines in American society and raises crucial and challenging questions 
 about liberty, equality, and justice for the poorest and most vulnerable 
 among us.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Birthright Israel NEXT, EcoJews of the Bay, 
 Hazon, The Hub at JCCSF, Jewish Community Relations Council, Moishe House 
 East Bay and SF, Progressive Jewish Alliance, & Urban Adamah.\n\n\n
