"No Place to Grow" Screening & Panel Discussion at the Beach Flats Garden

🌿Community Building Is Everything Right Now‼️

We must not forget the ones who came before us & are currently forgotten.

We must fight for the little we have left.

Please come watch the 2020 documentary No Place To Grow by Michelle Aguilar Ficara at the Beach Flats Garden

We will have a panel discussion with Don Emilio, elder jardín protector, Marciano Cruz, Beach Flats organizer & artist, and others.

If you’re interested in supporting the event send a DM.

🌿The Beach Flats Garden, El Jardín De La Playa, is located on the corner of Third, Raymond, and Uden Streets & it is owned by the Santa Cruz Seaside Company, the largest tax revenue for the city of Santa Cruz.

🕯️El jardín is the heart & soul of our local brown immigrant community🕯️

However, after the loss of 40% of the jardín in 2016 when the Seaside tried to relocate the garden (to increase commercial use of that space), the community & garden haven’t had proper care & attention by city officials.

The garden & community vibrancy have deteriorated significantly.

The jardín used to be & will continue to be a space for brown Indigenous immigrant folx to plant their ancestral foods autonomously & bring community together for inter generational community celebrations.

@campesinawombjustice is committed to uplifting brown communities in both north & south county.
