The Struggle For the Oak Grove

by tristan
We still fight for the trees, you can too.

After so much intensity at the Oak grove things are now calm but the struggle goes on. We still have a 24 hour ground camp. Fell free to stop by or stay at any time. We need donations of food for the ground and the tree sitters. Also the injunction may end on August 25. This would allow the University to cut the trees. please stay tuned for this possibility.

Many people are now going to court or jail for their part in the struggle. Call 510-938-2109 for information on when and how.

The Oaks ore a fun place to start to change the way this world is!
