Rather than reduce People\u2019s Park, we need to increase parks and open space in this high density area, and we call on the University to cooperate and facilitate such expansion. Measure L noted \u201cthere exists a clear and present emergency in that the threatened loss of open space, parks and recreational opportunities in the neighborhoods in Berkeley will cause irreparable damage to the health and welfare of Berkeley residents.\u201d This has escalated dramatically over the past 35 years, especially in light of the global climate crisis.<br><br>We also call on the University to honor the recognition of People\u2019s Park as a nationally significant site, included on the National Register of Historic Places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This protest unifies us in our plea against the commercialization of our park and demands that UC Berkeley opt for alternate locations for development, such as the numerous parking lots and vacant buildings that UC itself documented as potential sites for student housing &#8211; or perhaps the vacant chancellor\u2019s mansion! People\u2019s Park stands as a beacon of community empowerment, environmental stewardship, and social justice. To fight climate chaos, we need all the green space we can find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Info:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2024\/04\/01\/18864722.php?fbclid=IwAR2Kq33jdo5odbQZXxe8KhPMUjYzqCb1qCSQV-6h91ACwn7YQwmFydI0_dU\">March for People&#8217;s Park : Indybay<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/apis.mail.aol.com\/ws\/v3\/mailboxes\/@.id==VjN-o4pWBEt6OXx0TuTaDyD7Jq4cZxeSjJTlzLxuX9ZBlduyxTdSe7m3GqOUUblKIQ-k-OZtZrw2rULBXQ-scIJXZQ\/messages\/@.id==AGajcj8c_UHeZg3a6AYDEHV90Es\/content\/parts\/@.id==6\/thumbnail?appid=AolMailNorrin&amp;downloadWhenThumbnailFails=true&amp;pid=6\" alt=\"Starts at Willard Park, ends at Sproul Plaza.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5.

Twenty years after the US-orchestrated coup that overthrew the democratically elected government of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Haiti is at a critical juncture. In 2023, 5000 people were killed by paramilitary death squads and more than 300,000 people were displaced from their homes in the wake of terror, kidnappings and sexual violence. Nearly half the population is facing acute food insecurity. Schools and hospitals have shut down in the face of unrelenting violence, while the US continues to support a string of dictators and orchestrate a new foreign invasion.<br><br>In the face of repression and relentless terror that Haitians have called \u201chell on earth,\u201d the Haitian people continue to defend their communities and to build new institutions, such as free clinics, cooperatives, and schools that embody a vision for a new, democratic and just Haiti. As the US and UN move forward with plans for a new foreign invasion, this time fronted by Kenyan police and other African and Caribbean nations, the Haitian popular movement, including Fanmi Lavalas, demands an end to foreign occupation once and for all. They are calling instead to replace the current dictatorship with a people\u2019s transition government of \u201cSali Piblik\u201d (public safety).<br><br>The time for solidarity is now. We call on all freedom-loving people to defend the right of Haiti\u2019s people to live with dignity, free from foreign domination.<br><strong><br>Featured speakers<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Maryse Narcisse and Joel Edouard \u201cPacha\u201d Vorbe, members of the Fanmi Lavalas Executive Committee; Dr. Rama Ali Kased, US Palestinian Community Network, Assistant Professor of Race and Resistance Studies, San Francisco State University; Pierre Labossiere, co-founder Haiti Action Committee; Walter Turner, host of KPFA Africa Today, Board President of Global Exchange; Marvin X will read poetry accompanied on drums by Andrew Reynolds<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Info:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2024\/03\/22\/18864447.php\">Haiti: A Call to Action : Indybay<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/apis.mail.aol.com\/ws\/v3\/mailboxes\/@.id==VjN-o4pWBEt6OXx0TuTaDyD7Jq4cZxeSjJTlzLxuX9ZBlduyxTdSe7m3GqOUUblKIQ-k-OZtZrw2rULBXQ-scIJXZQ\/messages\/@.id==AGajcj8c_UHeZg3a6AYDEHV90Es\/content\/parts\/@.id==7\/thumbnail?appid=AolMailNorrin&amp;downloadWhenThumbnailFails=true&amp;pid=7\" alt=\"Visual search query image\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6.
