What’s new with the East Phillips Indoor Urban Farm Project this month?
By EAST PHILLIPS NEIGHBORHOOD INSTITUTE (EPNI)
- In August, EPNI held a press conference and a rally with representatives from EPNI, Little Earth, Climate Justice Committee, and Little Earth, asking the mayor to respond to EPNI’s purchase offer, uphold his stated commitments, and finally work with EPNI in good faith to transfer ownership of the Roof Depot building to the East Phillips community. Thank you to everyone who showed up in support!
