Did you know you can commission a high-quality professional city-level survey?
Turns out that 73% of Berkeley residents actually support expanding bike infrastructure — including 57% of non-bikers.
This isn't a niche issue anymore. Will council listen?

I research South Asian American histories in Berkeley, California. I just came across the earliest story yet.
In 1880s Berkeley, a turbaned figure known as Old James wandered the hills.
The “Hindu” immigrant milker on a dairy farm was a curiosity to neighbors.
James' life, as a child on the farm remembered it, was a mix of labor, opium addiction, prophecy, and maybe loneliness. 🧵
I wrote about him at

New Berkeley South Asian Radical History Walking Tour!
Our next several tours are all sold out, so we opened up a surprise tour next Saturday, November 9 in Berkeley, CA. Last I checked, there were only 12 spots left. Please come join us.
I can't make the Berkeley, CA launch of the 1947 Partition Archive's new book, but the multi-day event looks amazing

Absolutely appalling report about possible radioactive dumping at the #AlbanyBulb, César Chávez Park, and other shoreline locations:
“The fact that DTSC has sat on these documents for 44 years — shameful doesn’t begin to describe it,” said Janet Johnson, co-chair of the Richmond Shoreline Alliance.

"My children spent their entire school careers in the Berkeley schools—successfully, I should add. I am also Jewish…the hearing marks an expansion of conservative and far-right critiques of public schools, which have already become battlegrounds over an array of controversies, from critical race theory and ethnic studies to LGBTQ rights and gender identity. However well-prepared Morthel…might be, it would seem to be a no-win situation"
This is what hyperlocal organizing looks like. Congrats to the TGNC/allied students at Berkeley High School!
