Please see earlier posts for more info.

Today there was a little march to spread fliers and information. We went through campus and ended at the free Tent University. He sat for a class about animal torture at the UC Berkeley. Later we marched down Telegraph then up to the grove.

At the grove the tree sitters were putting up more lines between trees and getting suplied with food and water. Soon the Vice Chanceller and Chief or high up UC police woman and others had a little meeting on the corner. Starting at 5:00 was a planned Tree De-Fence party and ten cops came out of their fence and forced us away from the fence and onto the sidewalk. More people should and will be coming in the next few hours.
