carne asada is not a crime.



Led by District 1 County Supervisor Gloria Molina, the L.A. Board of Supervisors has passed new restrictions that will effectively eliminate taco trucks from our streets. Under Supervisor Molina’s new rules, taco trucks will have to change location every hour, or face a misdemeanor charge carrying a $1000 fine and/or jail. Yes, jail.

Taco Trucks are a special facet of Los Angeles, and something we don’t want to lose. Though this ordinance currently affects just unincorporated parts of L.A., that’s 65% of the County. And of course it opens up the doors for legislation closer to home too.

LA vs. WAR




LA vs WAR


Inter Active Art show unites community around anti-war message.


The Los Angeles art community is uniting April 10-13, 2008 for an event titled LA vs. WAR.


This four-day event is produced by John Carr and will take place in Downtown Los Angeles at The Firehouse, 710 S. Santa Fe Avenue, Los Angeles CA 90013. All ages are welcome and admission is free. Street parking will be available and shuttle vans will also carry visitors to and from a Little Tokyo parking lot located at 1st Street and Central on specific dates/times.


Updates will be added to www. LAvsWAR. com


LA vs WAR aims to highlight the travesty of a senseless war now going into its 6th year and to give a platform for LA's artists to exercise their freedom of speech.


Artwork by hundreds of artists will represent our diverse communities in delivering a universal message of peace and understanding,
and offering resistance and opposition to the US government's war policies.
