Green Party Joins Celebrities at LA's Urban Farm Encampment

The Green Party joins Julia "Butterfly" Hill and celebrities Joan Baez, actresses Daryl Hannah and Laura Dern, and slide guitarist Ben Harper in leading protests demanding environmental justice for Latino farmers in South Central L.A., whose 14 acre farm is in jeopardy of being bulldozed to build a Wal-Mart. "We are putting out a call to Green Party members and others across the state and nation, to come to Los Angeles and stand in solidarity with the farmers against a developer and city government who refuse to save this community farm. If they evict and jail them, they'll have to evict and jail us too," said Michael Feinstein, former Santa Monica mayor. Read the full press release for more information.
