The idea that
@UCBerkeley
has no choice but to build on People's Park fails to consider the vast personal estates of its decision-makers. If they're genuinely dedicated, why not donate their Berkeley Hills mansions for university use? A true test of commitment. 🤷🏽

Imagine our park as we intended. Beautiful, over 150 trees, a playground…so many hands went into making this a sanctuary. UC does not care about their alums. Our hearts are buried in this land. We will reclaim People’s Park. You can’t kill nature! We will reclaim our home!

Today is Bloody Thursday (May 15th) where UC Berkeley/and the city called in the national guard to close Peoples Park. 53 years later, there has been no apology nor remorse for the murders and generational trauma that occurred. A stark reminder these institutions will do it again

Berkeley’s average rental cost is over $3,100 a month. On July 1st, Berkeley’s minimum wage will be $16.99 an hour. A full-time minimum wage worker will only be able to make $2,718 a month. The average resident will still need $382 or be evicted. This is simply untenable.

Anyone running for office has a moral obligation to protect human life. To learn resilience from global communities. Having compassion for those who seek their basic needs. If our leaders in government can’t provide for basic needs, they don’t deserve the public’s trust.

If the City and University had the consent of People’s Park community activists and encamped members to build there, they would have had their press conference in Peoples Park. Of course they’d be mocked and booed. The community has said NO for 53 years. We haven’t stopped.

WHAT??? PEOPLES PARK IS THE HEART OF BERKELEY! WE are Berkeley! Do you need a new glasses prescription? You’re the anomaly. You used our community for your own political career. We endure you for Berkeley. It’s sad that your liberals are the real Reagans.
The current state of Peoples Park does not reflect the original ideals. Protesters don't represent the majority of our community who support needed housing and a new vision for the park. We need new homes for students and the homeless. Its time for a new vision for Peoples Park.

If that were true, it would be a crime against humanity and a violation of Berkeley law to deprive 14k people in the district of open space. Obviously it is a public park. UC is a public, not private, entity. It was created by public, not private, hands. UC does not own our labor

You don't support housing if you only focus on development. Development with public-private contracts caters to multi-national banks who acquire first-floor retail space in that building. Multi-National banks created the housing crisis in the first place.

Police don’t pull guns out of their holster by accident. They don’t point guns at civilians by accident. They don’t put their finger on the trigger and squeeze by accident. All police need to be held accountable for the harm they cause. This shouldn’t be controversial.

The reason why I’m so passionate about Peoples Park is that I don’t want to die from climate change. I live in the Southside Community. It is the only open space big enough to support our neighbors. They know the world is getting hotter but they still want to cut down our trees.

Mutual aid isn’t just serving food. It’s about being a good neighbor. You see an elder having trouble crossing the street—you take their hand. That family business having a hard time with sales—you buy local. Mutual aid is about being a part of your community not charity.

21 "affordable" units isn't enough. To afford median housing costs, you'd need $47.04/hr. Berkeley's minimum wage is $18.07/hr. If they can't afford it, who can? It's gentrification, not affordability!

The City of Berkeley knows there are at least 2k homeless people here. Their new 50 person “parking lot” is inaccessible. Of course its to downplay reenacting the Sidewalk Ordinance. This is systemic and conscious displacement. They are doing it for re-election, not human rights.
