The protesters — who linked arms across Sather Gate starting on Friday, Heat Street said — reportedly let people of color through their human chain.

Later in the clip, a mock eviction notice was placed on buildings, Heat Street reported:
You are hereby notified by the students of the University of California, Berkeley to vacate the premises immediately.

Here's the clip. (Content warning: Some profanity):
