The occupation is intended to go on until negotiations with the University take place. Students continue to occupy the campanile tower at UC Berkeley. The takeover will be the focus of campus organizing in an effort to cultivate future plans against the implementation of Prop. 209. About eighty students and community members are camping out on the campanile tower to secure the occupation. Many are studying by candlelight.
Updates are on the way.
The Campanile Tower is a symbol representing the University, and the Ivory Tower of elitism and exclusionism. Our occupation defies the passage of Proposition 209. Our occupation is an act of resistance and reclamation. We will occupy the tower until our demands are met or otherwise. In addition to our occupation we have made a commitment to fast, in order to purify our bodies and strengthen our spirits.
