Date:
Friday, March 15, 2024
Time:
5:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Event Type:
Protest
Organizer/Author:
Aidan Hill
Location Details:
The march begins at Willard Park and progresses along Telegraph Avenue to Sproul Plaza, ending at the People’s Park Mural/Chess Club at Haste and Telegraph.

Join our march against UC Berkeley's proposed development of People’s Park, a cornerstone of Berkeley's countercultural legacy and values. This protest unifies us in our plea against the commercialization of our park and demands that UC Berkeley consider alternate locations for development, such as the vacant chancellor’s mansion. People’s Park stands as a beacon of community empowerment, environmental stewardship, and social justice.

Event Title: March for People’s Park: A Stand for Green Space and Justice on Regent St.

Date & Time: March 15, 2024, from 5 PM to 8 PM

Location: The march begins at Willard Park and progresses along Telegraph Avenue to Sproul Plaza, ending at the People’s Park Mural/Chess Club at Haste and Telegraph.

The march is a declaration against the militarization of our shared spaces, supporting peace and the rematriation of Ohlone land. We denounce UC's financial motives and call for investments that truly enrich our community. We urge the Regents to acknowledge the cultural and environmental importance of the park, returning it to the community that maintains it.
