🚨ALL HANDS ON DECK🚨
This Monday, August 5, is our last chance to place the Berkeley Tenant Protection and Right to Organize Act in the November ballot, but we need five council members to vote yes!
We're also calling for supporters to help us get the Berkeley Tenant Right to Organize act on the Ballot! Go to https://t.co/edkqpS3Q6K to send a pre-written email to the City Council (it only takes 30 seconds!).
We need five votes on the City Council to pass our priorities. In order to win material change for our community, please keep your comments principled, respectful, and related to the items on the agenda.
Please join us at both meetings to share your voice. The meeting will be in-person at 1231 Addison Street and on zoom with the meeting id 160 019 7323. If you're joining us in person, please wear a well-fitting, high-quality mask to prevent the spread of COVID-19 & other illness!
Tomorrow (Tuesday) the City Council will be holding two meetings: a special meeting at 3pm and the regular meeting at 6pm. Your support is crucial in our fight for important ballot measures, an immigration resolution, and funding for Berkeley Student Co-ops!

Elected less than two weeks ago and already using her platform to fight for justice.
Cecilia Lunaparra, a senior majoring in urban studies, will be the first undergraduate student to serve on the Berkeley City Council.
