The 350 families that tend this 14-acre farm are under threat of eviction as the farm has been sold by the city to a warehouse developer. The developer has not taken control of the property yet only because of community support, and the determination of local activists, but the future of this farm is uncertain. The discussion will address issues of food security as fossil fuels decline, and will provide information on how we can help save the farm. Depaver Jan will supply songs.

Documentary screenings: "The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil" (20 minutes)
and "Our Synthetic Sea" (22 minutes)
There will be time for discussion after the speakers and screenings.
