People living in the area brought food and drinks for the students. Main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) was also at the park to support the protesters.
Günaydın! #Barınamıyoruz nöbetimizin ilk gecesini tamamladık. Arkamızda duran ve dayanışma gösteren herkes sağ olsun, var olsun.

Bir suç varsa o da milyonlarca genci sokakta yatmaya mahkum etmektir. Barınma hakkımız için her gün sokakta olacağız, şimdi onlar düşünsün... pic.twitter.com/hI3WcukD6p
In the morning, a member of the group made a statement: "Good morning, We have completed the first night of our 'We can't shelter' vigils. Thank you to everyone who stands with us and shows solidarity. If there is a crime, it is condemning millions of young people to sleep on the streets. We will be on the streets every day for our right to shelter."
A member of the movement previously told bianet that their demand is "good dormitories without exorbitant prices and affordable apartments that don't compromise life quality."
