Oak Grove Attempted Resupply on 6/29

by tristan
We tried to get food to the tree sitters but were only able to draw attention to the struggle for the Oak Grove.

We are endlessly creative. People had many ideas but many of us had been to jail recently and were hesitant to go again so soon. The tree sitters are holding in there and we tried to get them food after 12 days of no supplies. The university made sure to send enough cops to stop us this day. The future will be different, however.

Tree sit supporters try to come up with plans after the police stop the food but say they will deliver four bags of food tomorrow. We knew it was bullshit at the time and chanted, "Feed them now!"
