Mission

As members of the South Berkeley community, we have a vision of South Berkeley and its rich historical legacy, including long-term residents and new neighbors. We are committed to a thriving, inclusive, equitable, and racially diverse community. Advocating immediate public and private economic investment in South Berkeley, we

1) Support higher-density housing development along our transit corridors that includes homes affordable to lower-income households,

2) Call for the City of Berkeley to focus economic development efforts on strengthening locally-owned businesses, especially along the Shattuck/Adeline corridor and in the Lorin District—including a thriving Berkeley Flea Market,

3) Insist that the City develop well-funded programs to assist South Berkeley residents in danger of displacement and

4) Advocate safe and beautiful streets that connect our community for pedestrians, cyclists, seniors, children, and transit-dependent residents.

South Berkeley has waited for economic and social justice since the 1960s.

We call for sustained action NOW!
