They were arrested for just being there. This is absolute bullshit. In the 90s, there was a protest camp there against the Gulf War that was there 24/7. I know because I was in it sometimes, helping to cook food and do other things to keep it a place to live in.
In the 80s, there was a semi-permanent shantytown there to protest South African apartheid.
This is utter bullshit.
Don’t you know? You’re not allowed to protest anymore unless you have permits haha
So fucking nuts. Dunn Meadow has a long history of hosting student protests. My dad was a professor and he told me about the anti-Vietnam protests there in the 60s when students occupied the park.
