Daniel Mark Siegel

Daniel Mark Siegel, aka Dan Siegel, was a student activist at UC Berkeley in the 1960s and 1970s. He was also a leader in the local Students for a Democratic Society. As UC Associate Body President in 1969, Siegel is known for his role in the student riots of "Bloody Thursday," when thousands of students clashed with hundreds of Highway Patrol officers and County sheriff's deputies sent by the office of then-California governor Ronald Reagan to protect a piece of university land known as "People's Park." During a rally at Sproul Hall on that day, May 15 1969, Siegel received the microphone as the crowd of 3,000 agitated to reclaim their community space, and when he yelled "Take the park!" a riot ensued that ended with authorities firing at demonstrators, killing one. [Weiss, Norman. The Daily Californian. "People's Park: Then & Now." 17 March 1997.]

Today, Siegel is a civil rights attorney at the Oakland-based law firm, Siegel & Yee, who has won a series of high-profile sexual harassment and employment discrimination lawsuits and represents Pacifica Radio. [ [http://www.siegelyee.com Siegel & Yee ] ] He recently completed an eight-year tenure on the Oakland Unified School District Board of Directors. Siegel's most recent legal victories include a $5.85 million verdict against Fresno State University for sexual discrimination against volleyball coach Lindy Vivas.
