Santa Cruz Indymedia | Education & Student Activism | Environment & Forest DefenseCalendar: Thanksgiving break at the Science Hill Tree-sit
Will you be around over Thanksgiving break? Here is a calendar of events that will be taking place in the free-space beneath the Science Hill tree-sit. We are putting out a general request to supporters of the tree-sit to be present during this time (Wednesday the 21st to Sunday the 25th), because many students who usually frequent the site will be out of town. Anytime is a good time to drop in for a visit. Perhaps even consider staying the night - the more of us there are, the safer we will be from the threat of police violence.
Thanksgiving Break at the Tree-Sit: --> Tuesday, November 20th: *8:00pm - Film Screening: “A Little Bit of So Much Truth” - on the 2006 peoples’ takeover of 13 radio stations and a television station in Oaxaca, Mexico. --> Wednesday, November 21st: *12:00 - Forest Walk in Upper Campus sharing stories and secret spots, identifying plants, and discussing development plans that threaten this special place.
