There is an El stop close to this location if you’re taking public transport. Bring trash bags, gloves, food, drink, warm clothes, smiles & love. We’ll all switch off between cleaning, brainstorming, & talking with area residents. Whatever you want to do during this action, come do it!This is just the beginning. We envision a future Philadelphia where every vacant lot is a free food-producing space, community orchard/ food forest, community park space, beautiful flower garden, or some variation thereof. Access to fresh, free food will take us to the next step of self-sufficiency & break us from the cycle of dependency we have on the government & fossil fuel-guzzling corporate food system.
We want to act hand-in-hand with pre-existing community organizations, resident activists, children, religious & educational institutions, & every individual in this city tirelessly working towards these same goals. If we combine minds, hearts, & resources we won’t have to wait around anymore for someone else to make the changLet’s take our city & our happiness in our hands! Rise up together!
What to bring:
- Warm clothes that can get dirty
- Trash Bags (big, black heavy duty ones are best)
- Gardening gloves or work gloves
- Food & drink for sharing with others
- REUSABLE dishes & silverware to eat & drink with!
