My friend and co-conspirator @libbington has a great thread about all this on Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/libbington.bs Here's a good clip from it: #Berkeley #ClimateEmergency

“Let me be clear: If you represent a district where people have
died from traffic violence and your stance is ‘but the parking’
you are a trash human and you should be disqualified from
holding public office.”

The vast majority of #Berkeley supports expanding bike infrastructure in our city. If you're part of that group, here are recommendations for voting that would get us a City Council majority to get it done—as well as funding to do it, via YES on Measure FF and NO on Measure EE.

Berkeley Bike Ballot: Vote for Bike Infrastructure!

Adena Ishii: Mayor of Berkeley
NO on EE, YES on FF Ballot Measures
John Bauters: Alameda County Supervisor
Ana Vasudeo: Berkeley School Board
Terry Taplin: City Council D2
Deborah Matthews: City Council D3
Todd Andrew: City Council D5
Brent Blackaby: City Council D6

Make Berkeley safer for cyclists by voting for people who will deliver
safe infrastructure. Berkeley loves bikes!

I hugely appreciated seeing this clip from “Together We Cycle,” about the long work it took to bring cycling infrastructure to Amsterdam. It’s a great reminder that nothing great comes about but for a lot of pushing and fighting to make it great. As we work through yet another set of meetings on #Hopkins, I’m keeping this in mind. #Berkeley #Amsterdam #BikeTooter /cc @gertjanhulster thank you for your work! vimeo.com/ondemand/togetherwec
