Last November, for the 1st time in 3 decades, Berkeleyans elected a truly progressive majority to the City Council and a progressive mayor! Most of the folk pictured here were endorsed in November’s election by BCA, and other progressive groups.

Come celebrate their/our victories with Berkeley Citizens Action and hear from them, ask questions, suggest ideas for specific actions, discuss plans. Berkeley can lead the nation!

Here are some progressive priorities for Berkeley…
• Build permanently affordable housing, prevent displacement
• End homelessness
• Assure fair, impartial and demilitarized police department, eliminate racial profiling, create an independent police commission.
• Achieve racial & social justice; end disparities in education, health & jobs
• Develop a citizen budget commission with teeth
• Support small businesses
• Make Berkeley the greenest, most sustainable city
• Feed and House low income UC students, make education affordable
• Structure a progressive UC long range development plan
• Build more resident voice in how the city is run

How will progressive values be implemented?
What are your priorities?
