  3. When these protestors set up a camp, the authorities should build a perimeter fence.
    You can leave when it’s clean.
    Enforced recycling, sorting and cleaning of goods to be donated to shelters and local charities.
    They stay however long it takes, we will provide shovels, recycling bins and food until its over, and there are only footprints left.
