Seattle Times Pens Feature on ‘Guerilla Gardening’ Inside CHAZ: ‘This Is a Story of Reparations’
A group of Antifa and other anarchists who have taken over several city blocks in Seattle, barricading streets and making demands that include abolishing the police department, is being reported on by local media in glowing terms.
The occupied area includes a park, which is also being taken over by the people inside the zone, and the
Seattle Times penned a feature about the “guerilla gardening” as part of a “new communal effort:”
The
Times reporter wrote tha, despite a “festival-like atmosphere,” the occupiers “remind each other” that the takeover started as a protest against “police violence” and “systemic racism.” The Seattle takeover started as part of nationwide protests and riots after the death of a black man, George Floyd, as the hands of Minneapolis police.
“The real reason I’m inspired by gardening and farming is because it connects us to the land,” Henderson said. “This is a story of reparations.”
