An immigrant community in Los Angeles demands urban farmland
- by Henrik Lebuhn -
Since 12th September 2005, the „South Central Farmers’“ case has been heard in the appellate court of Los Angeles. 347 families from Latin America, most of them illegalised, have sued the city because it had sold the former derelict land with its newly planted gardens. The land had been appropriated by the farmers; the gardens are therefore officially “non-existent”. The ‘campesinos’ are now organising an unequalled campaign against the privatisation.
