#Seattle Parks and Recreation is planning to demolish the #BLM memorial garden in Cal Anderson on Friday. There are meetings around the response the next 3 days (Black Star Farms is in charge of those, check out their website) but there is also encouragement to visit and occupy the space in the coming week.
The Memorial Garden is one of the last physical reminders of the CHAZ and the 2020 uprising in our city and it has been an important space for three years now. If you cant physically be there please at least send an email to andy.sheffer@seattle.gov protesting this idea.
@Gustodon the core problem here is that it is a little park. Cal Anderson Park is a stretch of land about 5 blocks long in Seattle that has a fountain, a soccer field and a skate park amidst a bunch of grassy english gardens.
Three years ago people in Seattle came together on the ocassion of George Floyd's execution to protest police murders and they did it in Cal Anderson Park. This became a months long standoff and at the time a garden was cultivated in that park.
