1/ I have some exciting news! I’m stepping into the political arena for a cause very close to my heart:
I’m running for @SFBART Board of Directors, to represent riders who use the Berkeley, El Cerrito and Richmond stations 🚆
I’ve never seen myself as a politician, but…
Bay Area transit agencies in partnership with the @MTCBATA and the Bay Area @AirDistrict are encouraging residents to ride transit on Tuesday, May 6, for All Aboard Bay Area Transit Day. https://t.co/DOyZ9rMASC
@maksim_ioffe@debora_allen1@SFBART Thank you! I’ll check in once I’m sworn in and a bit oriented. In the meantime, I recommend reporting this here

Please support this GoFundMe for a pedestrian in our community who was tragically killed on Thursday evening. Traffic deaths are preventable and Ben deserves to be here: https://t.co/m3MEELzPX0
The BART Board of Directors is recruiting a Public-At-Large appointee for the BART Police Citizen Review Board, which works to increase the public's confidence in BART's policing services.

Upsetting news. A motorist severely injured a pedestrian on Rose Street this evening. We hope this person has a full recovery. Berkeley needs to renew its focus on #VisionZero. ❤️🩹

Based on Clipper data, riders have fully returned to transit, they are just taking fewer trips because of remote work.
Unique clipper cards used (note the 2024 numbers now match 2019):
68 years ago, Dalip Singh Saund became the first Asian American to be elected to U.S. Congress.
We honor his legacy today, including his successful efforts to grant Indian and Filipino immigrants the right to become U.S. citizens.
We’re so proud to join students across Berkeley in endorsing YES on FF, NO on EE! Students deserve safer streets. Whether we’re walking, biking, scootering, taking the bus, or driving…we all have to get somewhere, and we gotta get there safely. https://t.co/mJ2Wsi2y82!!
Sharing my personal endorsements for the November 2024 election in San Francisco.
This election cycle, after a year of genocide in Gaza, there needs to be:
1) some measure of accountability & memorialization of the damaging rhetoric + actions that have negatively impacted both the Muslim & Arab communities here in San Francisco.
and
2) support for the candidates who are willing to do the work, take hard votes & engage with these neglected communities.

Yes on FF is proudly endorsed by every elected Berkeley Unified School Board Director. That’s because FF would make getting to school safer for Berkeley kids.
With four weeks left until Election Day, it’s critical that we continue to contact voters to explain why FF must pass. Volunteer, donate, and request a lawn sign at: https://t.co/JJZNlLVOot !
@OakSyder I’m so so sorry to hear that. Was it reported to @SFBART ? If you’re ok sharing details, could you do so through the contact form? https://t.co/RngR2dR5R4

@scottmace2@SFBART You might be right. This job, at this time, is not for everyone. I’m excited though that multiple great candidates have stepped up in other districts.
1/ Good news! I'll be joining the @SFBART board this December, representing San Francisco Bay Area D3 residents
(If you live closest to the Berkeley, El Cerrito or Richmond stations, that means you!)
🧵 Here's the story of my last year, and what my priorities will be…
@we_amol @SFBART Thanks! Increasing safety is a multi pronged approach as you might already know. I’m interested in making sure we use the right resources, including police in most effective way from a security and financial accountability perspective.
