AGAPE CARING CENTER
Against Marijuana Cultivation Facilities in El Monte: A few weeks ago, the City of El Monte
approved the marijuana cultivation production and trade in their city. The ordinance
will be effective on Feb 7. As a result, a huge marijuana facility will be
opened, located close to the Home Depot on Lower Azusa Road. A nonpolitical
coalition, by the name "Greater Los Angeles Communities Alliance" (大洛杉磯社區聯盟) was formed trying to prevent this from
happening. Their plan is to collect 10% of the El Monte registered voters'
petition signatures by Feb 6 (~ 4,000) to repeal this decision. CCHC (Chinese Christian Herald Crusades) and
our church support this effort. Today,
volunteers from "Greater Los Angeles Communities Alliance" have set up a booth
in our courtyard to collect signatures from those who are willing and eligible.
Please continue to support this social action and earnestly pray!
