Media outlets are reporting that UC Berkeley intends to attack People’s
Park in the first week of January 2024
(https://www.sfgate.com/news/
Yes, 16 months after UC’s failed attempt in August of 2022 to fence and
destroy the Park, they have regrouped and now they are ready to go back
on the offensive.
We won’t let them destroy it!
Park defenders are preparing to protect People’s Park once again, as we
have successfully done for the past 54 years. While there are still some
issues winding their way through the courts, the situation has changed
since 2022. State politicians such as Buffy Wicks, Nancy Skinner and
Gov. Gavin Newsom have worked to change the law to enable UC Berkeley to
ignore environmental law and finish their conquest of People’s Park.
The university will rely on hordes of riot police to do their dirty
work. Do not be afraid! Come join us! When it comes to the Park, the
people have always prevailed — but we can’t do it without you.
Now is the time to prepare and get ready to mobilize. Get supplies
together in preparation for a late-night, or early morning, resistance.
Tell your friends about the Park and encourage them to join you.
Get connected in the following ways:
1. Text SAVETHEPARK to 41372 — and share this number! If possible,
disable your phone’s “Do Not Disturb” for the first week of January to
ensure you get nighttime alerts.
2. For further updates, text “@pplspark6” to 81010
3. Come out to the Park to meet people and get prepared.
