RAC-LA came forward to aid the community in self-organizing such that with the help of each other we might make an inhuman way of living a bit more bearable while at same time acquiring the means to one day transform this system into an image of our own humanity. For 7 years the RAC-LA has operated “Programa Comida”, the “Food Program” in MacArthur Park. Serving an average of over 150 community members (who, in turn, have families) each Sunday, the membership of RAC-LA is in the greater part composed of those who initially came because of the need for food assistance, who saw what we were doing; and, who took it upon themselves to join in. For 7 years the RAC-LA has engaged in building a model of a non-hierarchical revolutionary organization through its mutual aid (not charity) Food Program. 7 years, 350+ weeks, 150+ baskets/wk = > 50,000 baskets of healthy, nutritious veggies and fruits delivered to the needy and the homeless of the MacArthur Park community.
