"It's going to take a different approach to community organizing than I'm used to," said Rev. Bob Hartley, longtime EPA resident. "I want to get into that mindset and start talking not about sons and guns specifically, but about greens and means. And how you can bring back some respect for each other." Hartley believes that bringing the youth back to their cultural roots through showing how food is grown and explaining the significance of the act of growing will help create a sense of community and steer them away from violence. "There's a hard difference between smoking weed and growing greens. But if we can start young enough and hold their interest long enough, I think we'll certainly be able to persuade some change in a select group of young folk," he affirmed.
