People’s Park Council
A group which coordinates several fronts to protect the park, including legal advocacy, information production, and protest actions.
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.
Drop by the free store, tap into one of the many groups down below, or connect with the council.
- East Bay Food Not Bombs - serves fresh vegetarian meals at the park almost every day at 3PM.
- Suitcase Clinic - student organization providing free medical services to the unhoused.
- Berkeley Copwatch - founded out of People’s Park in the 90s, Copwatch provides support to those experiencing police harassment or violence and advocates to defund BPD
