Tree Sit Resupplied Every Week

by tristan
Every Sunday at 2:00 we resupply the Oak grove tree sit.

Last week at the Oak grove there was excitement. The police sent a climber up into the tree sit. He tore down tarps and cut ropes between the sits and stole supplies. We had an emergency resupply the next day and the police had the whole are barricaded and many police were on hand. We moved to another section of fence and the police tried to clear us away. After everyone linked arms and resisted the push the police backed off. The resupply went ahead.

On Sunday is the regular resupply. Necessary since the University put up two chain link and barbed wire fences. We were concerned about police but none came. The day was almost a drizzle and that kept the security guards in their booths. The resupply went along great. We sent tons of food, water and materials up.

Please come by and support the grove at any time but the best time is Sundays at 2:00.
