Overview
- UC Berkeley hosts the rebranded “This is the Turning Point” tour on Monday night as the final campus stop of the year, with more than 300 attendees expected at Zellerbach Hall.
- Event organizers require photo ID and ban bags, water bottles, noisemakers, signs and banners, while campus officials say security will be robust but have not disclosed detailed plans.
- Protests are planned near the venue, and campus officials note the lead organizer is not a registered student group, with some recognized groups on the flyer subject to the Student Code of Conduct.
- The Daily Californian reported three arrests around 12:30 a.m. tied to protest activity involving a cardboard prop and anti-TPUSA fliers at Sather Gate.
- UC President James Milliken previously urged tighter protocols for high-profile events after Charlie Kirk was shot and killed on Sept. 10, and TPUSA’s Berkeley chapter reports higher meeting attendance this fall as the tour continues with rotating speakers.
