(not cohousing-specific, but very relevant to our efforts to co-create affordable community)

There is a solution to the Affordable Housing Crisis

Introducing the Berkeley Progressive Alliance and our Affordable Housing Platform

Berkeley could build at least 100 units of affordable housing a year, if we raise funds for the Housing Trust Fund. Hear about practical solutions that will raise the money needed. Prepare for the 2016 Election by making plans to elect a mayor, city council members, and rent board commissioners who will represent all of us, not just the 1%. Speakers include:

• Max Anderson - Berkeley City Councilmember District 3 (South Berkeley)

• Ben Bartlett - member, Berkeley Planning Commission and District 3 City Council candidate

• Kate Harrison, Berkeley Progressive Alliance and National/State Politics Chair of the Wellstone Democratic Renewal Club

Refreshments and childcare provided (RSVP for childcare to: papermaster@gmail.com)
