FESTIVAL NEWS
Help the South Central Farmers!
Have you watched Recycle? This short from MTM6 captures a day in the life of Miguel Diaz, a homeless poet living in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Echo Park. Miguel maintains a community garden on the median of an L.A. street where he and other homeless people gather to turn in plastic and glass recyclables. Not far from where Miguel lives and works, another community nurtures a 14 acre organic farm that feeds 350 low income families. While the South Central Farmers have been cultivating their farm for 30 years, the city of L.A. sold the land to a developer for $5.1 million in 2003, and now the community faces eviction and bulldozing of the farm to make way for a warehouse. Now is the time to show your support for the community and prevent the destruction of an amazing community-based sustainable food system, Take action through the South Central Farmers website! Watch a short film about the farm. Read about the activism of Joan Baez and others who want to save the community farm. Watch RecyclePublished on June 4, 2006
