Opinion: Brent Blackaby is the community leader and problem-solver we need representing District 6
We’re proud to support Brent Blackaby for Berkeley City Council and urge our neighbors in District 6 to vote for Brent, too. Berkeleyside accepts submission of op-eds relating to election candidates and measures and publishes a balance of opinions at its discretion. We select those that are the most compelling, well-written and well-argued. Learn more about our op-ed guidelines. Brent provides a unique blend of experience, innovation, and problem-solving skills that Berkeley needs right now.
Opinion: Rashi Kesarwani for Berkeley City Council District 1
Over the last four years, we have served alongside Councilmember Rashi Kesarwani, and we have seen how she listens to stakeholders with diverse viewpoints, pays attention to details, and builds consensus for cost-effective policies. We partnered with Rashi to fix our city’s street paving budget and reinstate police positions to ensure community safety.
Berkeley community must work together to prepare for wildfires
Berkeley prides itself as a resilient city. But this resiliency, especially against natural disasters such as wildfires, requires a collaborative community effort to mitigate threats and prepare for emergencies. Wildfires are a major threat in California, fueled in part by the worsening climate crisis.

Opinion: Celebrate $15 minimum wage for Berkeley workers
Today Berkeley ushers in a $15/hour minimum wage. How we got here is a good reminder of how we can work together on important issues instead of attacking each other on ideologies. On Oct. 1, 2018 Berkeley workers started earning $15 an hour. Berkeley is only one of about 21 cities across the nation that have adopted $15 minimum wages. In August of 2016, Berkeley unanimously passed the second fastest minimum wage in the nation.
