Episode 7: Equitable Black Berkeley - The Moving Parts - City of Berkeley (Part III)

In this last part 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 as it relates to the city's housing crisis by linking arms and brainstorming with local organizers to think outside the box to try and usher in new and equitable solutions to rooted wrongs in housing and development injustices. What plans are underway to finance an initiative like Equitable Black Berkeley? What needs to be in place to ensure EBB stays true to its longterm vision?  What does economic sustainability look like?  Does EBB advance the conversation on Reparations for Black Berkeley?
