Hi All,

After a long day at City Hall that included the clearing of the Council Chamber because of a raucous protest, the truck gardening ordinance clarification (aka the Food & Flowers Freedom Act) passed the City Council with no opposition.

Thanks to all who braved the masses at City Hall and stood by while the wheels of bureaucracy moved (slowly). Though we disbanded before the final vote (and thankfully before the protest), we were able to get a “victory” photo with Council President Eric Garcetti (to be posted here soon.)

Though this is the last public step of the process, the ordinance change must be signed by the Mayor (within 10 days) and then takes effect 41 days after his signature. That gives us plenty to time to plan our victory celebration.

Thanks again to the many who helped make Los Angeles a better place today.
