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!

A digital flyer for a "Watch Party" event featuring a documentary screening and panel discussion. The event takes place on Tuesday, April 1, from 5:15 - 7:30 PM at Ed Roberts Campus. The flyer includes the documentary title, "Change Not Charity: The Americans with Disabilities Act," with a graphic of a wheelchair-accessible icon surrounded by stars. The text highlights "Access for Every Body" and emphasizes "Change, Not Charity." The event is presented by the Center for Independent Living (CIL) and the Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund (DREDF). Food and drinks are provided, and attendees are encouraged to RSVP via Eventbrite. The background is deep blue, with red and white accents for contrast.

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!

This is an essential job that we need to fill in our city! Please help spread the word, and thank you to @walkbikeberk.bsky.social for the post.

@iriskwok.bsky.social thanks for writing this article!

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.

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.

The aquatic park redesign concepts are SO cool!! Vote on your favorite and and help choose the design for the playground.

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.

Here in Sacramento for a training with our 4 new Berkeley City Council members and our wonderful new City Manager. All of us started in 2024. It's a new day in Berkeley!

📅 At Feb. 1 workshop, your input about your concerns and experiences regarding 🌪️disaster preparedness, 🌍climate change and pollution will help inform the city’s long-term development.

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.

Let's share this great resource for our Berkeley families with the community!

Glad to hear it!

An airplane wing with a view of the East Bay from the sky. There's a tinge of a sunset and a blanket of fog, clouds, and possibly smoke.

It's looking a bit smoggy from above the Bay. How's the air down there? Are folks smelling smoke?

Heartbroken at this horrific act of violence in our city. I'm following the investigation and send my condolences to the victims and their families.

It feels very tense and uncertain here in DC. With the inauguration tomorrow and a snowstorm coming in today, people are on edge. Grateful to be returning to our city.

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.
