![]() This is especially worsened by the fact that previous to the renovation, these organizations had larger, and better equipped facilities. They already have facilities, but they were in the rat-infested crumbling, basement of a newly renovated building, in one of the most hard-to-find locations- I was a orientation leader and have been here for four years and even I found it hard to find them. That's precisely what the "myth" he claims to debunk is about. So.they sought better facilities for "safe spaces" for these groups. Sought more accessible, extended physical facilities for the bridges Multicultural Resource Center and the Queer Alliance Resource Center (QARC) since they serve thousands of students Rather, these two organizations (Fight4SpacesofColor and Fight4QueerAndTransSpaces) This was a lie created by sensationalist media to garner views and incite rage among the general public. Students at no point were looking to create safe spaces on campus. Were the spaces that were offered smaller than is typical for groups of their size? Were they unusually inaccessible or in poor condition? It just seems to like this is more of a power struggle between a group that wants more resources and the people with the power to allocate those resources than a bona fide fight against oppression. But so far I'm not clear on how the three options Bridges/QARC were given for campus spaces constitute unequal treatment relative to other student organizations. The Civil Rights demonstrations also centered on very clear sources of inequality. It isn't clear to me what blocking students from passing through Sather Gate has to do with the protestors' beef with the ASUC. And second, by congregating at the geographic focal point of the federal government - the National Mall - to send a direct message to Congress and the White House that they were failing to live up to their responsibility to wield this power. First, by congregating at the Lincoln Memorial, a monument that represented the federal government's power to enact laws that advance racial equality. The March on Washington targeted the federal government and the Kennedy administration's relative apathy to Civil Rights up to that point in two ways. The sit-ins targeted businesses that segregated their premises. ![]() The Freedom Rides targeted bus routes in the South because these bus routes were historically segregated. The Civil Rights demonstrations cited in the article were deliberately executed in a manner that centered on targeting specific actors. That being said, the comparison to notable Civil Rights protests overlooks several important points. People's Park in Berkey has a history of resistance, which proved true, even on the first day of construction to tear down the historic park.I agree that the narrative surrounding the protest was based on a lot of misinformation and involved a lot of hyperbolic whining that seemed to gloss over the fact that there are many alternate paths around Sather Gate that add only a few minutes to your walk. All construction personnel were withdrawn out of concern for their safety. The university says it decided to pause the construction work due to the destruction of materials, unlawful protest activity, and violence on the part of some protesters. The arrests were for charges including battery on a peace officer, trespassing and resisting, obstructing, delaying an officer. ![]() One of the arrestees was released on an out of custody complaint and transported to a hospital for minor injuries, according to the university. (KGO) - Seven arrests were made and two officers were injured during what UC Berkeley called "unlawful protest activity and violence" at People's Park over a student housing project.
