People's Park

UCPD is investigating an alleged anti-transgender hate crime committed at People's Park Sunday morning, according to a UC Berkeley WarnMe notification.

Campus spokesperson Dan Mogulof discussed the recent People’s Park developments with People's Park Historic District Advocacy Group President Harvey Smith and Berkeleyside housing and homelessness reporter Supriya Yelimeli in a KQED forum Wednesday morning.

The prospect of love and care materialized the shared vision of People’s Park.

At 5 p.m. Wednesday, students, park residents and People’s Park advocates gathered on Sproul Plaza to send a message: end development on People’s Park.

Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguín cancelled City Council's special meeting scheduled for Thursday night to address police use of tear gas.

We must also recognize those with Ohlone ancestors that populated the land long before all privatized land ownership.

Ultimately, no matter the city’s work to provide supportive housing for residents of People’s Park, the park’s decades worth of history and culture will not be preserved.

In an unannounced overnight move, UC Berkeley began the process of fencing off People’s Park for construction of student housing Wednesday morning. 

Organizers and demonstrators with Berkeley Copwatch and the Defend People’s Park Movement gathered Wednesday for a rally, march and barbeque at People’s Park to protest UC development on the land.
