Add an EventDolores Park in San Francisco DESTROYED - is Peoples' Park in Berkeley NEXT?
If you go by S.F.'s Dolores Park these days, you'd hardly recognize it. It has been so thoroughly bulldozed it now looks like another construction site. The desecration of this Indigenous Sacred Site that started with the building of the Mission Dolores hundreds of years ago continues to this day.
We, the Tuk-Pikuni [Tree-People], who staged the iconic Memorial Oak Grove tree-sit, the longest urban occupation [648 days] ever, as well as the various Muwekma* [Peoples'] Park tree-sits, and the current Occupy 2 Decolonize action taking place in Oaktown, want everyone to know that Boss Hogg U. [the University of California] has similar plans for another activist icon and Indigenous Sacred Site, Peoples' Park in Berkeley, and wants to carry them out imminently. The Berkeley City Council wants to start their annual summer recess early this year. That does not bode well for the Park.
The Tree-People are seriously appalled by the apparent willingness of San Francisco so-called `activists' to simply stand down and allow this to happen, AND we also want to serve notice NOT to expect the same kind of SLACKtivism if they try to take Muwekma Park.
See you there;]
A-ho.
@Mike Holmes: I lived in San Francisco for 20 years. In that time I learned that in San Francisco govt. codespeak, vernacular like `chidrens's playgrounds', `landscaping', and `improvements' to public spaces mean 1 thing, and that is GENTRIFICATION. This has been Ed Lee's agenda all along. This policy of making life more and more unpleasant for `undesirables', i.e., poor and homeless, is being carried out w\ even more vigor under the current mayor than it was under Frank Jordan, Willie Brown, or Gavin Newsom, and that's saying something.
