Boycott Sprouts "Farmer's Market"
As the City of Albany's decision to build a commercial grocery store on the Gill Tract looms, a hilarious new video has come out dramatizing the struggle between the community farmers (who have twice occupied the land for farming), and the Sprouts "Farmer's Market" that seeks to pave over the land.

The Gill Tract is an incredible resource for the UC Berkeley community and residents of Albany, and it would be a huge loss to turn it into another grocery chain. Having a productive community farm in Albany would help promote East Bay self-sufficiency and would be a beautiful learning laboratory where we could start learning how to grow our own food.
