People’s Park Council
A group which coordinates several fronts to protect the park, including legal advocacy, information production, and protest actions.
Dwight Triangle
Park organizers have been using the Dwight & Telegraph public space for weekly harm reduction.
Other Closely Connected Groups
For decades, park defenders have gathered in the public space of People’s Park itself; without this, resistance has become more de-centralized.
