Winter Break at the UCSC Tree-sit
Protesters End Occupation of Space Under the Trees

December 7th marked the first month of the tree-sit on Science Hill at UC Santa Cruz to protest campus expansion. In that month, discussions about UCSC's Long Range Development Plan, biomedicine, the use of police force and the future of the UCSC campus have been sprouting up all over the place. Connections have been made with off-campus community members, many forums have been held and more are planned, and a campus coalition of students, graduate students, and faculty is forming to plan other modes of resistance outside of the tree-sit.

Indymedia, Online Communities and the Police State

On December 15th, Santa Cruz County peace activists gathered for a vigil and action in front of the Military Recruiting Center in Capitola. The "Not at Home for the Holidays" protest was cosponsored by nine Santa Cruz County peace groups calling for, "all of our troops to come home immediately, for all military bases that have been built in Iraq to be disbanded, for a complete return of the resources and sovereignty of Iraq to the Iraqi people themselves, and for full reparations for the devastation that has been wrought in our name."
