On Tuesday, we will voice opposition to the desecration of the sacred site at the Berkeley City Council meeting. Show up at the beginning of the meeting, submit for public comment, and state that you are in support of the Shellmound and want them to take action to save it from development. The site is at risk of desecration by a five- story condo and shopping development. Contributions can be made to the Shellmound Legal Defense Fund.
