Join us this Sunday, September 22 for our regular membership meeting! We will be meeting from 4:00pm to 5:30pm at Grassroots House (2022 Blake Street). The meeting will also be a potluck, and you can sign-up here to let everyone know what you’re bringing!

Join us this weekend to kick-off BTU-endorsed campaigns for the November election!
On Saturday from 6pm to 8pm at Grassroots House (2022 Blake St), we’ll be hosting the campaign kickoff for the Right to Housing Slate for Rent Board and Jenny Guarino for City Council. This will be a fundraiser for the candidates, so we encourage you to bring your checkbook. (No one will be turned away for lack of a donation.)
All five candidates (Jenny + the four members of the slate) are using public financing, which means the city’s Fair Elections Fund will match donations from Berkeley residents by a ratio of 6-1. That means, for example, if you donate $10 to a candidate, they will receive $70, and if you donate $60 then they will receive $420! (You may donate up to $60 to each candidate, for a total of $300 total, which would become $2100 after matching funds are applied.)
Sunday is a two-parter at San Pablo Park (look for us next to the community center). From 3pm to 5pm, we’ll be holding our membership meeting and potluck (sign-up to bring a dish here). Then from 5pm to 8pm, we’re launching our first canvass for the November election! We’ll be campaigning for the Right to Housing Slate, the Tenant Protection & Right to Organize Act, Jenny Guarino, and Jovanka Beckles.
You can RSVP for this weekend’s kickoffs here. And you can sign-up to bring a dish for Sunday’s potluck here.
Want to donate but can’t make it this weekend? You can find the donation links for the Right to Housing Slate here and for Jenny here.
Join us Sunday, August 25 from 3PM to 5PM at San Pablo Park (2800 Park Street) for our next regular membership meeting!
