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.
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!
