Tree-Sit 6 Month Anniversary on May 7th
May 7th marks the 6th month anniversary of the tree-sit on science hill, and of the two-month ground occupation which was born in torn fencing and broken police lines.
The tree-sit has been a continuous act of resistance against the University's expansion plans, including a Biomedical Sciences Facility at the site of the tree-sit and the development of over 120 acres of Upper Campus' redwood and chaparral. Meanwhile, the new and ugly McHenry Library has been built by Devcon, the construction of the Ranch View Terrace faculty mansions is underway, and research (military, biotechnology, and animal vivisection) goes on.
May 7th will be just another day of routine, unless you act on your own initiative to make something happen. If you consider the tree-sit worthy of celebration, do something to celebrate--other people can't celebrate for you. Any time during the day is good to stop by, say hi, send food up.
Gather at 8pm underneath the tree-sit for an open-ended collective celebration. Bring food to share, candles for lighting, games to play, music, ideas...
