Hi friends - I am excited to share that I now have official Mayor of Berkeley social media accounts! Please follow me there for all of the latest updates from my office and important City of Berkeley information. I look forward to connecting with you!
10 Years ago today, I wrote this op-ed about community college in response to an ignorant comment about transfer students. I'm a proud Berkeley City College alumna & now Mayor of Berkeley, so hopefully we can change some more minds!

I am strongly in favor of this change. Over 15 years ago, 5-year old Zachary was killed at this intersection. We have known for years that this is dangerous, and it's past time that we do something about it. Thank you for your leadership on pedestrian safety, @markhumbert.bsky.social.
One car in 10 stops at the slip right turn at Zachary’s Corner. This intersection will be redesigned and reconstructed with funds from Berkeley’s LRDP settlement with UC Berkeley, per my request. It’s a top priority project for our Public Works Dept. Can’t happen soon enough.

Bird slide? Water plaza? How should Berkeley redesign Aquatic Park playground?
The city is soliciting input on designs to replace the quarter-century-old run-down playground at the park.

I think it's so brave in these divisive times to share these opinions in such a close space. They said it sparks conversations with their passengers.

Berkeley has reaffirmed Sanctuary City status! I'm so proud of the parents, kids, community groups, faith orgs, and Japanese Americans who came to support our council item. We must stand united against policies that seek to cause fear & separate families.

West Point cadet speaks about the importance of community. She said, leadership is not something innate but a reflection of the communities that raise us. I reflect on our Berkeley community & how I owe so much to the people who believed in me and lifted me up. We owe all young people our support.

This morning, we're hearing from a Ukrainian mayor who is sharing his experience of dealing with war in his city. He shared a story of a family who lost their father. Their mother lost a leg, and their daughter lost two legs. Last week, their daughter ran in the Boston Marathon.
