Berkeley Against ELECTION LIES from Chamber of Commerce (save Kriss and Dona...) PHOTOS 
Outrageous election lies funded by Berkeley's Chamber of Commerce were protested Wednesday, November 2, 2006 in front of old City Hall in Berkeley, CA at Noon.
The Chamber has put forth numerous well-funded hit pieces for developer-friendly candidates, in an effort to unseat two of the nation's most progressive city council candidates. The agenda of the Chamber, based on what this reporter has learned, appears to be at the very least: evictions for development; police abuses for cultura...

In Berkeley, City Councilman Kriss Worthington is on the receiving end of the most expensive campaign in that city’s history.

Divide & Conquer 
It’s the all too familiar fracture in the American Left: the rich want parks and open space, the poor want decent jobs and housing, both all too often unwilling to compromise one for the other. Granted it’s not that black and white, but looking at the various community groups and organizations that have mobilized around the controversial Oak to Ninth project it seems that those archetypes fit....

Why Aimee Allison Matters Every couple of years, progressives are faced with the terrifying possibility that we might actually win. I didn't live in San Francisco when Matt Gonzalez almost won his race for Mayor, but I know that across the country good lefties indulged in a guilty game of "what if." What if we actually had the opportunity to lead? For Gonzalez, the help came too little, too late. He fell just short, and the race begged the question: If the next opportunity was right in our own backyard, would we know ...
