Direct action has held off the destruction of the historic autonomous People's Park in so-called Berkeley, California for a year. Now, documents show that the city is once again planning to fence off the area from the public - this time with barbed wire and double stacked shipping containers.
Park defenders are calling for people to defend the space. Check out this IG page for more info: https://www.instagram.com/peoplesparkberkeley/
'UC Berkeley intends to re-fence People’s Park with double-stacked cargo containers and barbed wire...developers submitted sidewalk permits to the city as the cargo containers are expected to impede public right of way.
While developers are not permitted to break ground on the project in the meantime, they are allowed to install fencing around the park.
Park defenders and advocates held an overnight vigil this week in anticipation of a perimeter fence, but as of press time, nothing has been erected."
