La Huerta Orgasmika en peligro! / Community Garden in Danger!

Estamos muy tristes por escuchar que la huerta orgasmika una huerta communitaria magnifico en Buenos Aires esta en peligro de extinción:

"Hoy nos encontramos ante el peligro de DESAPARECER. Después de 5 años del desarrollo de la Huerta Orgázmika, el Gobierno de la Ciudad tiene dentro del proyecto de remodelación de la plaza Giordano Bruno (enrejada) su extensión, ya comenzando a colocar postes de madera que delimitan el espacio recuperado por la huerta. Terreno que anteriormente estaba abandonado por el Estado y donde se juntaban escombros y basura." leer mas.

Ahora hay gente acampando en la huerta para defenderla del desalojo.
Alto a la destrucción de la comunidad! La huerta vive!


We are sad to hear that the Orgasmic Garden of Caballito in Buenos Aires faces eviction.

"Today we find ourselves in danger of disappearing. After 5 years of developing the Orgasmic Garden, the city Government's plans to remodel Giordano Bruno plaza is... limiting the space used by the garden, land that was abandoned by the state where garbage and rubble gathered...

And why did we gather in the garden? To search for ways to interact free of smog (environmental, social, political,dogmatic, artificial, and car induced)to exchange and spread (dis)information, experiment and play...to organize activities (the acclaimed Food Not Bombs, a seed exchange) as well as workshops about sustainability, ecology, the environment, self managment etc..."

Supporters are currently camped out in the garden to defend it from eviction.
Stop the destruction of community, The garden lives!

Parade Without a Permit NYC

Last Thursday April 19th, Radical Queers, anarchists, critical massers and other lovers of liberty gathered at city hall to take action against the NYPD's new fascistic attempts to curtail freedom of expression as well as to pressure City Council speaker Christine Quinn (an out lesbian) to withdraw her support for this draconian legislation. The NYPD's new 'regulations' which amount to the cops writing new laws, say that any gathering of more than 50 people needs a permit and prior approval from the NYPD.

The parade without a permit left city hall park taking to the streets on Fulton street. Scooter cops violently pushed the march back on to the side walk twice before the march broke back into the streets right in front of Ground Zero. At this point the cops attacked, bashing the participants of the march. One man was punched in the stomach and then thrown to the ground amidst a flurry of kicks and punches. Two women were also dragged along the ground, one young woman lost her shoe and was kicked repeatedly by the cops.

The march then continued on to the west side park, where it regrouped and the majority of marchers went to provide jail support for those arrested. All were released on Friday morning. Lets continue the fight, we can't let the NYPD dictate what we can or cannot do in our city!!!
