Episode 6: Why Equitable Black Berkeley? - City of Berkeley (Part II)

In this part two of our three-part interview with Mayor - Jesse Arreguín, Council Member of District 3 - Ben Bartlett, and Chief of Staff (to the Mayor) - Jaqueline McCormick we continue our conversation on how, as administrators of the City of Berkeley, they took up the challenge of equity in Berkeley's housing crisis by linking arms, brainstorming with local organizers, and thinking outside the box to lay the foundation on beginning to usher in new and equitable solutions to rooted wrongs in housing and development injustices. What is Equitable Black Berkeley (EBB)? What role will Bay Area Rapid Transit choose to play in EBB? What is the City leveraging?
