This document is intended to be a listing of every web article or youtube video related to People’s Park in the last year or so.
It would be good to maintain this list as a google doc which could be updated over time.
It took me hours to compile all of these links. It is meant to be a starting point, Please fill in the blanks with whatever articles I overlooked.
I had to stop compiling, because most of the articles I read were too depressing. The coverage so far is very one sided. I feel there are thousands of positive stories about Peoples Park that have yet to be told. The only way to save people’s park is to convince the students that it is worth saving, because ultimately they have the power.
