"#JVP is changing its structure and strategy.

Under a new arrangement, the #Berkeley, #California-based organization will now be able to dedicate more of its resources to #lobbying for specific #policies and supporting or opposing #candidates for elected US office. The change signals a belief that influencing dynamics in the #MiddleEast will require more than #protests and #grassroots #organizing."

planetizen.com/news/2025/06/13 “The ordinance approved by the City Council on Thursday permits buildings of up to three stories and up to eight units on a typical 5,000 square foot lot. The ordinance applies citywide, with the exception of the city’s hilly neighborhoods, where denser development could increase fire risk.” #Berkeley #zoning #housing #MissingMiddle
