LOS ANGELES, June 30, 2008 – It has been two years since the South Central Farmers were forcibly evicted and their farmland destroyed. While most all of the farmers have found new land to till they have not lost hope that the site at 41st and Long Beach will some day grow food again. The fight for the land where the farm once was is not over. The farmers are now organizing to stop the city from granting a building permit for developer Ralph Horowitz's proposed construction of a truck depot and warehousing complex on the site. They are asking supporters to come to a planning commission hearing this Wednesday, July 2 at 10:00 am at Los Angeles City Hall, 200 North Spring Street, Room 1020
