MY UTOPIA                                                           

I'd like to live in a world free from crime and drugs. I'd like to live in a world full of love and respect the fellow man or woman. I would like to live in a world where family is first.

For everybody to truly come to know our creator!!! The whole human race could view the face, with flaming eyes.

UTOPIA                                                                 

I would remove the blemishes of a tarnished 500 year Diaspora. No slave catchers; no hangman's noose; no forced labor; empire building or forgotten promises. No nigga trees, birds or bees or the fake promise of meritocracy. Once removed---all remnants---a vision of Utopia might be possible.

MY UTOPIA

When my community and I control our own means to create and my community oversees itself and controls itself and everything that impacts us.


Control

MY UTOPIA

Serene, faces smiling, walking in harmony with my neighbors looking up at all the beautiful buildings and watching my friends come out to their balconies to water their roses or the fine gardens they have planted. The trees are green and tall and the lights twinkle at night as people walk to and from their beautiful homes in the sky, children playing in the spacious parks filled with swings and see-saws. My friends and neighbors playing basketball while my women friends sit quietly chatting among themselves. In this Utopia I can see all the suffering is gone and everyone has a renewed life, another chance, a job they love and I look up ad I see blue, blue skies with white billowy clouds…Life is serene.

MY UTOPIA  

A morning of peaceful “bliss”, children attending and going to school. People goes to and from work and then… this world for once being completely human.


Joe T.

MY UTOPIA.

Divert a branch at the LA River through Skid Row with grass and trees on each shore, diverting traffic away from the green zone. City-subsidized musician and artist would replace the police in keeping the peace/ Skid Row policies would be decided by Skid Row residents, not imposed by anyone from outside.

MY UTOPIA

A perfect world for me will be having leaders that are more substance than read Erick. Politicians that won't tell people what they want to hear, but his or her true beliefs.


Feltas

MY UTOPIA

Once upon a time… walking down 5th street breathing deep, every step every step getting bigger, every step breathing deeper looking around and being greeted by everyone who's eyes meet mine, brother, sister eyes meet, eyes meet, no sirens no sirens none….

MY UTOPIA                                                              

My Utopia is to see a “PIG FREE” downtown, where we are not criminalized for the color of our skin and our economic status. My Utopia is to see this community cocaine and heroine free where everyone has housing and is financially stable, swinging, feasting, and dancing to Bob Marley in the streets.

MY UTOPIA

My Utopia is my community living in harmony. Everyone has a home to live in, there is no homelessness, no police harassing community members, the sidewalks are clean, everyone who is able to work has a living wage job, people are happy, residents are not jealous of each other, residents are will to help each other, organizations help people, the air is fresh and clean and the sky is blue.
