YES!

Berkeley voters will decide the character of our Downtown for the next few decades.  Let’s help voters make the right choice!

Come out and join us on Sunday, June 15^th, 2014 at

Berkeley’s Juneteenth Festival

along the South Berkeley Adeline-Alcatraz corridor
from 11:00 to 1:30, or  from 1:30 to 4:00

We’ll talk with people, hand out flyers and sign up volunteers to help pass the initiative

• The Initiative will protect our public buildings – including the Downtown Post Office – from commercial development, reserving our Historic Civic Center for public and civic uses.

• The Initiative will require the inclusion of affordable and family-sized housing in the large new developments downtown.

• The Initiative will require that 50% of construction workers be from Berkeley or nearby cities, and be paid a fair “Prevailing Wage.”

• The Initiative will require the inclusion of new buildings to be built to high Green standards, and to include bike parking, car share and other features that help Berkeley meet its climate action goals.

Come join us from 11:00 to 1:30, or 1:30 to 4:00

Meet on the north end of the Bar-B-Q “island” on Adeline Ave. near Harmon Street. Wear a sun hat, and carry water.
