NoGRAB Meeting
NoGRAB's work is not done!  Our next challenges will be to work with our state representatives to reform California's redevelopment laws and promote federal laws to protect private property rights. No GRAB meets at Rick's In and Out, 1300 W. Rosecrans Avenue (east of the intersection of Rosecrans and Normandie), in Gardena, the second and fourth Sunday of each month at 4:00PM. Call 310-217-0681 to confirm meeting time and date. Please join us in making a better future for Gardena and ourselves.

Here is a pdf flyer with more information about NoGRAB that you can copy and give to your neighbors to encourage them to join us!
