According to an anonymous organizer, a UCPD officer came by DLG at 12 p.m., asked a few questions, then left the scene.

The purpose, an anonymous organizer said, is that “everyone can eat for free” because the group “would rather the school's money go to feeding the students than bombs or war research.” A UCSB Liberated Zone Instagram post said “UCSB must disclose where it invests $169 billion.”
