NEWSLETTER DECEMBER 2003
Dear
friends,
When
returning from a food run in June, we were involved in a serious accident that
totaled our vehicle. Thankfully, we escaped with minor injuries but need to
replace the vehicle. Please consider us when you retire yours.
Marco
Del Fuego, a longtime activist in the Latino community from Central America has
moved into our community to assist in creating a Latino family shelter. He has
been active in resisting corporate globalization, which contributes to
environmental and social degradation in third world countries.
We have found people willing to operate the shelter but have yet to
locate a building. If you have any ideas please let us know. Meanwhile, the
number of homeless individuals in our new neighborhood (Petworth) is obviously
increasing.
Aside
from resisting the war in Iraq, we have diversified our activities. Tom Gomez an
activist from the 80’s squat in Tompkins Square in New York City has been
assisting in the reorganization of WPFW, a local Pacifica radio station.
Members of our community are being considered for management.
Suncere who for many years has actively fought for prison reform has
opened and is managing the activist Café Mawonaj in
our former, distressed Northwest neighborhood while providing the children there
with a free breakfast.
Last
year, we received our greatest support from you, our contributors. Thank you!
It
really inspires us and helps us to continue the struggle.
We are still trying to find a larger and less expensive place
nearer to our soup kitchen.
Please,
again give as much as you can!
For
the Community,
Harold
Moss
