How can you help?

When there is little or no work we must turn to ourselves. This is the mission that our group, Revolutionary Autonomous Communities (RAC) has undertaken since 2007 in MacArthur Park with some 15 –20 members of our community helping to sort and package and distribute food, to over 150 people

Revolutionary Autonomous Communities' Food Program


Comrades, Compañera/os,

The crisis, which drove many of our people from their homes to seek work so as to feed their families, has arrived here. Work is much harder to find, wages are not raised, workers are fired and more work is heaped upon those left who still have jobs.

In addition to the economic strain, migrants, and even those that resemble migrants, along with blacks and other people of color will be unfairly targeted and blamed. “They are taking our jobs,” it will be charged. “We are paying for Their children in our schools, hospitals, parks and jails.” This ‘Us’ versus ‘Them’ as if we are in some way different, in some way less, when it was our work, and the work of our brother and sister fellow workers, regardless of race or nationality or language, who labored and built all that we see. When it is our work and the work of our fellow workers which would and could labor and build a new world with new schools, new hospitals, new parks but no jails. A new world for all to see.

When there is little or no work we must turn to ourselves. This is the mission that our group, Revolutionary Autonomous Communities (RAC) has undertaken since November of 2007 and continues every Sunday at 1:30 PM at the south-east corner of Wilshire and Parkview, in MacArthur Park with some 15 –20 members of our community helping to sort and package and distribute food, to over 150 people, that RAC members have solicited.

How can you help?

1$ buys a pound of beans at the grocery store. 1$ buys more than 2 lbs when we put our money together and purchase beans in 50 lb sacks. Same with rice. The purchase of corn in bulk will bring the same savings. Donate to the Food Program what you can and watch your dollar double.

Plastic Bags have to be purchased and this takes donated money away from the purchase of food. Save and bring your plastic bags on Sunday.

Help unload the trucks.

Help bag the beans and rice.

Notify us if you have fruit trees that can be harvested.

Just wanted to note that the statement above was not authored by me but was a collective statement issued this month by the Revolutionary Autonomous Communities (RAC). Although I wholeheartedly support RAC's mission for greater horizontalism and political autonomy in Los Angeles I myself am not a member of RAC. Just thought that I'd make a note of this in order to avoid confusion over who authored and originally issued the above statement.

Revolutionary Culture at the Food Program - Cultura Revolucionaria en el Programa de Comida

The Food Program of the Revolutionary Autonomous Communities is every Sunday in McArthur Park in Los Angeles at 1:30 pm on Parkview between 7th and Wilshire.

People that participate have created relationships with each other, and a revolutionary autonomous model and culture.

A participant of the food program reads an allegory about the "change" in president/emperor and police terrorism after he watched the film, "We're Still Here, We Never Left."

=================================

El Programa de Nutricion de las Comunidades Autonomas Revolucionarias es cada Domingo en el Parque de McArthur en Parview entre la 7 y la Wilshire.

Los participantes han creado relaciones entre ellos, tambien un ejemplo autonomo revolucionario, y una cultura revolucionaria.

Un participante del programa lee una alegoria sobre el "cambio" de presidente y el terrorismo de policia despues de ver el documental, "Todavia Estamos Aqui, Nunca nos Fuimos."
