Emergency Rally at 5:00 - Police Fence the Oak Grove
Early this morning (August 29) police surrounded the grove and soon workers began building a fence. The trees are still occupied by a group of tree sitters and there has been no move to evict them yet. Please come by to support all day and to the Rally at 5:00.
The tree-sits in the Oak Grove were rudly awakened at 6:00 am by twenty police who surrounded the area and put up police tape around the grove. Those in the trees were safely out of reach and they called for support. Soon dozens of supporters arrived but so did a group of workers who bean to build an eight foot chain link fence around the central part of the grove.
There is a rally tonight at 5:00. Please come if you can. Also support the grove in the coming days as things will now be much more difficult. The fence is said by the police to stop violence that could happen during Saturday's first football game of the year. The grove defenders had planned to use the day to do outreach to thousands of fans. Now the tree sitters are surrounded and may run low on food and water. We believe this is the real reason that the fence was set up.
