Thanks for the ❤️❤️❤️ Annette Bernhardt!
"My favorite memory of EBASE is how they immediately embraced me when I moved here in late 2013. Within months I was testifying in front of the city council on the impact of a $15 minimum wage, standing in the middle of a long queue of activists and residents organized by EBASE, loving the incredible energy and hope of the movement.
"And that’s what EBASE does: it always leads with love, and that’s why I’m proud to be a board member."
We're proud to have you on our board, to count you as a friend, and to be part of this movement alongside you, Annette!

As the Trump administration continues to brutalize human beings in concentration camps and terrorize immigrant families, Amazon.com profits by supplying tech to ICE.
Jeff Bezos—the richest man in history—continues to amass wealth today on #PrimeDay by profiting off the detention of immigrants & exploitation of Black & brown workers. Without Amazon’s tech, ICE cannot function.

In May, Emeryville City Council members approved a carve-out to the city's Minimum Wage ordinance. This unfair loophole cuts the pay of some working people by 8% this year, and delays their promised wage equity with other workers until 2027. This well-deserved pay raise has been promised to workers since Emeryville's two-tier wage system was first introduced in 2015.
The City has the opportunity to follow the lead of the voters and reverse that decision TONIGHT, Tuesday July 9.
Councilmembers Dianne Martinez, John Bauters and Scott Donaghue: do the right thing and support these Emeryville workers!!
(Note: Thank you to Councilmembers Ally Medina and Christian Patz for standing with workers and voted against the carve out in May) ... See MoreSee Less

EBASE’s Nicole Zapata and our Raise the Roof Concord coalition partners tell it like it is in this important piece:
"I feel like it's common sense and it shouldn't be such a struggle to decide that you're going to prioritize families over greed," said Nicole Zapata, a community organizer with East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy, a regional advocacy group that has been working for immigrant and tenant protections in Concord.
"How do you want the world to look? Is the Bay Area just going to be a place for the rich," Zapata asked. "For me, at the end of the day, that's what it comes down to."
The City Council's refusal to explore rent stabilization or just cause eviction policies is "a complete dismissal of Concord tenants and working families," according to a letter sent to councilmembers by the advocacy group Raise the Roof.
"Housing stability for Concord tenants is a racial, economic, and social justice issue and Concord City Council is on the wrong side of history in this housing crisis," the letter says.”
