Word on the street is that from May 26th - 31st, UC Berkeley maintenance workers will begin the first phase of removing plants from the west end of the Park (the garden section of the Park). People will be needed, especially in the early mornings, to guard the Park against the UC.
Word on the street is the from May 26th through the 31st, UC Berkeley maintenance workers will begin the first phase of removing plants from the west end of the Park (the garden section of the Park). UC Police will be there en mass to oversee the removal of plants for "public safety". The police will also have a list of which beds are allowed to be gardened in, and which beds are fully under the control of the UC.

The new UC policy is that plants and gardening are the cause crime in People's Park. Through various phases of action, the garden section of People's Park is to be transitioned into dirt and lawn over the summer while the students are away.

ACTIONS TO TAKE:
1. From May 20th to May 26th: People should be putting in new plants in the garden beds.
2. From 26th to May 31st: Vigilance and disruption of UC plans. Watch for maintenance workers, police
3. June-August: More vigilance and more gardening.
