"SHARED ROOTS (UNITY THREATENS INEQUITY)"

by El Mac

Growing up in South Central LA, familiar with the area's lack of fresh produce, Ron Finley says he knows what it's like to drive 45 minutes for a fresh tomato. Nine years ago Finley, aka the Gansta Gardener started planting the city-owned parkways as an act of protest and in the intervening years has become a community leader. At the beginning of 2019 internationally renowned LA artist Miles MacGregor, aka El Mac, created this labor of love at Washington Blvd and San Pedro St. Juxtaposed to the left of Finley in this carefully thought out statement about black–brown conflict in South Central and the shared challenges facing the communities in the face of a widening wealth-gap is Rigoberto Jimenez Oropeza who began his activism with the United Farm Workers many years ago after being exposed to pesticides in the California orange groves.  @mac_arte/  @ronfinleyhq/

This Shovel was painted for my buddy Ron Finley, the Gangsta Gardner. He is such a shining example of how doing something good for ones community can expand out and effect the world. His website is RonFinley.com .....: "Ron Finley plants vegetable gardens in South Central LA -- in abandoned lots, traffic medians, along the curbs. Why? For fun, for defiance, for beauty and to offer some alternative to fast food in a community where "the drive-thrus are killing more people than the drive-bys." Please swipe up in my story link to check out his Ted talk and Follow @ronfinleyhq to keep on top of all the fascinating work he's been able to accomplish by his sheer determination.

🌿 I've been watching lots of YouTube clips on master gardner @ronfinleyhq, who teaches us how to grow your own vegtables, with your own vegtables--- harnessing nature's regenerative power to grow our own food!🌿 . 🌿Instead of composting the ends of your onions, or celery or cabbage, put it in a small dish with a little water and in a week or so, it will start to root and sprout, and in no time it's ready to put in the soil and grow!🌿 . The first pic was taken yesterday from our kitchen window. As you can see, my vegtables are thriving, on water! As you swipe through, you'll see the same vegtables from May 10th. . . #mrpsplacecards #ronfinley #vegtablegarden  #organicvegetables #thejoyeconomy #honoryourtribe  @southernladymag @traditionalhome @elledecor @verandamag @vogueliving @southernlivingmag @betterhomesandgardens @oprahmagazine @gardenandgun @housebeautiful (at Old Chatham, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAfYR8HpFY6/?igshid=adbblnby8qpm

I will be performing some songs from my band Galaxias Eternas this Saturday evening at the @ronfinleyhq's Dig This, a celebration of our MAMMA GAIA! This permacultural music & arts festival honoring mother Nature is focused on community and sustainability within urban landscapes. A community benefit for The Ron Finley Project. Ron Finley plants vegetable gardens in South Central LA -- in abandoned lots, traffic medians, along the curbs. Why? For fun, for defiance, for beauty and to offer some alternative to fast food in a community where "the drive-thrus are killing more people than the drive-bys." Affectionately known as the Gangster Gardener, Ron Finley changes lives with his passion for urban farming, a task he took on when one day he realized fast-food and low-quality processed foods were killing his community, South Central Los Angeles, inflicting far more damage than drugs and crime. #ronfinley #southcentral #losangeles #urbanfarming #gardening #sustainability #gaia #motherearth #earth #earthday #urban #compton #galaxiaseternas (at Moonwater Farm, The Comptons)

#AndrewsHighSchoolEC garden needed tomato plant trimming yesterday. I added some cayenne pepper to (hope and pray) deter the herd of produce bloated geese from continuing their tour of destruction. Thankfully these lovelies have thick skin, no match for even the most determined of goose beak. Greg Desern and I will be using our saved seeds for lessons this fall, AND more cantaloupes next year. #ourstate #ournc #ourstatemag #bees #garden #schoolgarden #redfored #pollinators #highpoint #goodness #gangstergardener #ronfinley #triadlocalfirst #school #backtoschool #positivevibes #nutrition #teaching #love #gardenlove #loveourstudents (at Andrews High School EC)

The Turmoil is in our soil. Your immune system’s first line of defense is the gut.  Once the gut wall is breached the body is exposed to toxins it wouldn’t normally have to deal with.  So the body’s immune system kicks in causing an autoimmune response from gas, bloating, leaky gut, diarrhea, inflammation, all the way to possibly diabetes, or cancer and the list goes on.  Think of the great wall of China being breached during a war.  How long can the empire sustain attacks before it is overcome?  That is the root of all dis – ease, when the immune system gets overrun.  The toxins in our environment destroy the gut walls. Make gut health a priority. This poem was written to honor the cycle of life, nature, and it’s natural process.    Want to hear it from a doctor, check out the work of Dr. Zach Bush. Music by: Music provided by Rujay. Instrumental: "First Shot" by Ihaksi.
