In the Spirit of Things
Peoples Park the centerpiece of free speech its symbolic of the very essence of what freedom is in the land of war makers and other haters types, this 2 1/2 acre of land right in the heart of Telegraph Ave. in the city of Berkeley, California stood as an example of the freedom that rest of the country is missing. I urge that people in other states in other cities throughout the country come together and create A Peoples Park in there communities.
The need for peoples parks to spread throughout America is a real concept particularly in the most racist and backward communities in America. If you truly want to change the dynamics of this Bush machine you must be brave and unified with other progressive forces and begin by creating your own Peoples Park in your own home states in your communities
LET A THOUSANDS PEOPLE'S PARK BLOOM EVERYWHERE
In 1990, the University of California decided to once again to take the park in respond we the defenders of peoples park form the peoples park defense union we organize the resistance to there planned volley ball court installation. Riots erupted on August 3, 1990, leaving a stun and battered city to decide if this volley ball court installation was worth the problem it was causing. Of course, the University with mega influence in city politics prevail and the volley ball court stayed much to the dislike of the people of people's park. Soon we learned that the University was hiring yuppie types to play volley ball because they fail to find people to play for free.
