Donate to the Slate!
Please donate to the Right to Housing Slate for Rent Board to help get the word out! Unlike their opponents, the entire Slate is using public financing instead of taking donations from Big Real Estate and political machines. That means individuals can donate up to $60 to each member of the Slate (i.e. up to $300 total). Click here for the donation links!
Every election year since 1994, the Rent Board Convention selects the progressive, pro-tenant slate for the seats up for election on the Berkeley Rent Board. The 2022 Convention was sponsored by the Berkeley Tenants Union, Friends of Adeline, the East Bay Democratic Socialists of America, the Young Democratic Socialists of America – UC Berkeley, Our Revolution East Bay, Healthy Black Families, Berkeley Citizens Action, the Wellstone Democratic Renewal Club, the Gray Panthers, the Green Party, SEIU 1021, the Center for Independent Living, and the new Berkeley Progressive Alliance.
The 2022 Right to Housing Slate is comprised of Soli Alpert, Negeene Mosaed, Ida Martinac, Nathan Mizell, and Vanessa Danielle Marrero. For more information about the Slate, please go to berkeleyrentboard.org or email jonahmgottlieb@gmail.com.
