Breaks our heart to share that the pedestrian hit at Rose St and Josephine yesterday has died. Update: berkeleyscanner.com/2024/11/15/tra…

Me, in todays San Francisco Chronicle: “In too many cases, local activists expect their city to end foreign wars and restructure global economy. That’s not what cities do. They approve new housing and pick up the trash. They determine how safe streets will be.” sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo…

“Widespread support for safer streets played a key role in Ishii’s victory.” sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo…

OPINION: "Adena Ishii's rise to become Berkeley's new mayor marks a decisive shift for the city and its progressive politics," writes Matthew Lewis, a Berkeley resident and longtime housing, climate and safe streets activist. trib.al/n9mEooM
