Who Owns Peoples' Park? Berkeley's Historic Struggle. Ft. Mat Wranovix w/ Left in the Bay

This month, the University of California-Berkeley administration sent a small army of police to secure Peoples’ Park in the south side of campus. The police cleared the park of the people living there, and established walls of shipping containers surrounding the park.The university plans to build 1,100 new units of student housing and 125 units of supportive housing for unhoused people. In the late 1960s, the park was established by neighborhood locals, cultural revolutionaries and political radicals to be "stone lobbed at the ongoing gentrification" of Berkeley and the San Francisco Bay Area. The struggle to Save Peoples Park has been ongoing for over fifty years. In our latest episode, Scott talks with Mat Wranovix with Left in the Bay (@leftinthebay) about the history and current events of Peoples' Park. They get into how the movement to establish and save the park grew out of the long history of Bay Area political radicalism and has come to symbolize peoples' struggle against ongoing corporate gentrification.
