Thank you Philip Salata and #iNewsSource for exposing the #SystemicRacism and #favoritism at the #nonprofit #CityHeights Community Development Corp (CEO Alexis Villanueva) and their cozy relationship with #SanDiego City Council. Nonprofits entrusted with managing the Cities resources to support immigrant communities should know better!

Former City Heights nonprofit exec testified CEO targeted Black farmers, made racist remarks

The deposition shows there was disagreement among the nonprofit’s leadership over the handling of a contentious lease dispute with refugee farmers at the New Roots urban garden.

Tonight’s #ReadingListChallenge is almost 2yrs old but still relevant

“Imprisonment has the greatest impact on communities with more people of color, the data shows. In #CityHeights, #BarrioLogan, #Encanto and Southeast #SanDiego, incarceration rates are roughly double the state average … meanwhile, residents in #Encinitas, #LaJolla and #Coronado — some of the wealthiest areas of the county — are about half as likely as the average Californian to be living behind bars.”

San Diego behind bars: Which areas are hit hardest by mass incarceration?

Incarceration impacts all of San Diego County — but some communities are more affected than others.

Thanks to #PhilipSalata at #iNewsSource and #SanDiego #LegalAid Fatima and her family can finally access their #NewRoots #CommunityGarden to try to replant crops that went to rot while #CityHeights #CommunityDevelopment #nonprofit illegally locked them out of the garden while simultaneously solicitting donations using their names and images!

My November planting month did not go as planned - three of the six trees planted got mowed down/destroyed. This occurred simultaneously alongside some grievous personal developments. Not letting such unfortunate occurrences obstruct the plan; #cityheights is going to get Torrey Pines in weird spaces, and I am going to keep planting and growing them here until I am no longer able!
