The evening of Wednesday Aug. 3, protesters forced University of California, Berkeley to halt construction on the controversial project to build housing for students.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brandon Ramon Mendoza, organizer with Defend People\u2019s Park and recent UC Berkeley graduate, said he went to the park in the early hours of Aug. 3 when construction workers showed up at midnight.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c[There were] so many police, so many goddamn pigs. Police from all sorts of departments from the Cal State Critical Response Unit to UCPD to eventually as the day progressed California Highway Patrol,\u201d Mendoza said. \u201cIt was a terrible sight to see them come in and touch down almost every single tree and so rapidly, with almost no remorse and with so much police protecting them as they enact their violence, destroying trees over 50 years old.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the trees were homes to many birds, squirrels and other animals that, now, no longer have a home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not going to continue to allow them to take away the park, it\u2019s been here for 53 years and it will continue for as long as the people are here,\u201d Mendoza said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Protecting and saving the land has been controversial since the late 60&#8217;s. Despite negotiations about the land, on May 15, 1969, 300 police in riot gear cleared the park and 2,000 National Guard troops were sent by then-governor Ronald Reagan, in what is known as \u201cBloody Thursday,\u201d according to People\u2019s Park <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peoplespark.org\/wp\/history\/\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rafael Jes\u00fas Gonz\u00e1lez, who became city of Berkeley\u2019s first Poet Laureate in 2017 and who was at the 1969 protest, said history continues to repeat itself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe surrounded the park and confronted the university and armed forces. Our citizens were tear gassed and there was at least one death,\u201d Gonz\u00e1lez said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said it makes him \u201chappy\u201d to see the people pursuing to protect the park and confront the institutions that sway over them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very heartening and it\u2019s up to the younger generations to take up the issues and battles of the revolution that we started in the middle to late 60&#8217;s,\u201d Gonz\u00e1lez said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gonz\u00e1lez also said homelessness will not be solved by building huge apartments for the affluent, including Berkeley students, and that the park must be preserved as it symbolizes freedom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c[People\u2019s Park] is exactly what the name stands for, a park by the people for the people, for the public,&#8221; he said. \u201cFreedom is for the people to have their needs met and symbols are not to be denigrated.

The park embodied a spirit and it\u2019s supposed to be there, not just for the Bay Area but the world at large.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said throughout the years, people traveling from all around the world would seek the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPeople would ask \u2018where&#8217;s People\u2019s Park?\u2019 and people go there to find themselves and explore,\u201d Gigio said. \u201cThey find where they fit in and define their talents with others who are doing the same.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The park is so dear to him that he recently decided to film a YouTube documentary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vXrS_qJAKTM&amp;t=353s\">film<\/a>, capturing the essence of the park and its historical and cultural significance to the locals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy experience going to People\u2019s Park is that it&#8217;s a diverse culture. You find people mixed with each other,\u201d Gigio said. \u201cDo what you can to contribute and get involved. If you\u2019re a Bay Area resident and you care about the Bay, then you should definitely care about People\u2019s Park.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mendoza said People\u2019s Park is the last green space in the entirety of southside Berkeley and although there is Willard Park, it\u2019s not part of the southside community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo have seen dozens of trees, to see the garden destroyed is just another message by the University saying they do not care about what they do to the community,\u201d Mendoza said. \u201cUC Berkeley is supposed to be part of the community, yet over the course of over 100 years it continues to honestly be a plague to the community and harm community members.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Peoples-Park_6_web.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-52491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Peoples-Park_6_web.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Peoples-Park_6_web.jpg?resize=333%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 333w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Peoples-Park_6_web.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Peoples-Park_6_web.jpg?resize=370%2C278&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Peoples-Park_6_web.jpg?resize=20%2C15&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 20w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Peoples-Park_6_web.jpg?resize=185%2C139&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 185w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Peoples-Park_6_web.jpg?resize=740%2C555&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 740w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Peoples-Park_6_web.jpg?resize=400%2C300&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Peoples-Park_6_web.jpg?resize=64%2C48&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 64w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Peoples-Park_6_web.jpg?w=800&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A torn-down black steel fence, smashed window glass from construction vehicles, colorful posters reading \u201cSave People\u2019s Park No More Gentrifiers,\u201d tree branches on the ground and one last standing tree, was the aftermath scene at People\u2019s Park in Berkeley, California.
