A new @UCBLaborCenter report shows East Bay workers earn more — but still can’t afford to live here. Over half can’t support a family, and 1 in 10 live near poverty. “This is a policy failure — not an accident,” says Stasia Hansen @workingeastbay. https://t.co/lob1ZNoBRZ

Over half of East Bay workers were not paid enough to support a four-person household, UC Berkeley researchers found.

“A new report from the @UCBLaborCenter shows that 25 yrs after the Army base’s decommissioning, those deals have been largely successful—potentially offering a model for how the planned redevelopment of the Coliseum can be a boon for community”-@katie_debe

Nurses, teachers, and so many hard-working Californians are getting slammed by unfair, sky-high rents. Join the California Nurses Association in voting "yes" on Prop 33. Prop 33 allows cities to expand rent control -- and urgently rein in sky-high, unfair rents. #YesOn33
