On the way to a Hannukah celebration got a chance to stop by the opening of the latest #Berkeley Art Center exhibition and reconnected with a friend I hadn’t seen since our college days. Thank you for bringing friends together and creating community when it’s needed the most!

Thank you to the Berkeley Fire Department and Berkeley Fire Fighters Association, IAFF Local 1227 for staging an incredible food drive out of your #downtown #berkeley fire station. It gave me so much joy to join you this year and distribute meals to our neighbors. It is an honor to serve.

Today our #district4 team had the privilege of preparing and serving meals at the @insighthousing.bsky.social HOPE Center in the heart of #downtown #berkeley. It is an honor to serve.

May the light in all of us continue to shine bright on the world. #ChagSameach #berkeley

Had a wonderful time at the Community for a Cultural Civic Center holiday party. Thank you for all you do to secure our beloved public commons for generations to come!

Thank you Vets in Vans for the work you do to support our most vulnerable neighbors and their pets! 4 paws up! 🐾

Congratulations to my dear friends @carolynwysinger.bsky.social on a successful and trailblazing year as mayor as well as to Mayor-elect Gabriel Quinto and Mayor pro tem @rebeccaforec.bsky.social. #elcerrito and the region continue to be in good hands under your leadership!

Our #berkeley #district4 team had our holiday lunch today at Sobo Ramen Berkeley on the corner of Milvia and University, and it was delicious and delightful! Please join us in supporting all of our local businesses this holiday season and throughout the year!

5/5: Hate and violence cannot be normalized. Berkeley remains a city where all are welcome and where violence, antisemitism, bigotry, and intolerance will never be acceptable. May we all keep those impacted by this act close to our hearts.

3/5: Berkeley grieves with those who were attacked at a Hanukkah celebration on Bondi Beach (Sydney, Australia) and extends our deepest condolences to the Jewish community here and around the world.

2/5: During what should be a season of joy, we were once again confronted with horrific acts of violence that claimed precious lives and terrorized communities.

1/5: A Statement From Berkeley Mayor Adena Ishii and Councilmembers Rashi Kesarwani, Igor Tregub, and Mark Humbert Regarding the Antisemetic Shooting in Australia

Thank you @acceaction.bsky.social for fighting the good fight- for housing we can all afford, for a planet that will still be here for the next generation, for dignity for all, and a future we all deserve. Si Se Puede! 💪

The miracle is the keeping on with the work of Tikkun Olam to honor the legacy of those who tragically perished. The miracle is the show of support from community members of all faiths. The miracle is to keep the candles of the Menorah lit until every corner of the world is covered in light. ❤️‍🩹 🕯️

This is not the Hanukkah we were hoping for. But we will still be here, always or at least until across the world light extinguishes darkness and love stamps out hate. See you soon. P.S. Security will be there, just in case.

My heart is heavy following yet another tragic school shooting and yet another hate-fueled antisemitic act of murder. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their loved ones, which include local ties. May the memories of those who senselessly and needlessly perished be for a blessing. 💔

My heart is heavy to have learned of a fatality involving a scooter rider on California near Addison. My office is in communication with BPD, and we will share more details as we receive them. My thoughts are with the loved ones of the victim. Thank you to our first responders who rendered aid. 💔

Yeah, I shed some tears today, it was that good. Thank you to my parents and all who joined our group for this concert today, making it even more special. #SlavaUkraini

It was a joy to celebrate the @ncltrust.bsky.social in my district. Thank you for your daily work of rooting people and communities. Thanks to all that you do, #district4 and #berkeley are on the rise! 🏡

Visited my #district4 constituent @kimanno.bsky.social at her art exhibit. The open house continues this weekend and is free of charge. Stop by and witness her amazing creativity!

Grateful to the hardworking #berkeley Zero Waste staff for giving our #district4 team a tour of our Transfer Station. From leading the state in waste diversion and #SB1383 compliance to keeping our community informed about recycling and reusing, #berkeley is punching well above its weight. ♻️

Just spoke at the Bay Area Air District in support of staying the course in adopting zero-emission appliances and water heaters, consistent with my unanimously adopted #berkeley resolution. Proud to stand with hundreds of constituents and community members in support of better health outcomes.

Not only is Berkeley Community Media a pillar of our democracy, but it knows how to throw a good party to boot! Thank you for keeping the #berkeley community connected and informed!

Consider making a tax-deductible contribution or volunteering @ www.berkeleyfoodnetwork.org .

So grateful to our #alamedacounty reps such as @replsimon.bsky.social and @rokhanna.bsky.social for standing up strong to defend democracy, here and across the world.

This mural in #district4 is even more meaningful to all of us now as it was to me then. I was honored to reconnect with its muralist Mokhtar and learn more about its origins. I recommit to celebrating and defending my fellow immigrants, and #berkeley proudly recommits to being a sanctuary for all.

Our #district4 team completed much of its holiday shopping at the 7th Annual Berkeley Holiday Gift Fair 2025 and invite you to join us! Support our local businesses and artisans, win prizes, and pick up some popcorn courtesy of the Rotary Club of Berkeley, California. Going till 7 pm tonight!

Thank you to all who could join our @alamedacodem.bsky.social Festive holiDay Tidings Party! This has been a year, but there’s so much to celebrate, e.g. being the 4:1+ margin of our democracy in passing #Yeson50. It’s not too late to make a food bank contribution @ donate.accfb.org/vfd/ACDEMS2025

Our hardworking and creative #district4 team netted the Best Berkeley Spirit Award at the first annual #berkeley City Hall 5th Floor door decoration competition. All this in between emails and calls responding to constituent service requests. So grateful for our dream team of Amy, Shamaila, & Olga.

On this #givingtuesday consider making a contribution to Dorothy Day House, which provides warm meals and wraparound services to vulnerable neighbors year round in #downtown #berkeley. Wherever and to whomever you give today if you’re able to, thank you! dorothydayhouse.networkforgood.com

When we took the photo on the left 6 months ago I don’t think any of us had any idea of what specifically the future would hold, just that it would be bright for Alan Wong. Today I was over the moon to celebrate the beginning of his new role. Congrats Supervisor Wong! #district4

Belated post but better late than never: had to shout out Faye Carol and all the performers at the Black Women’s Roots Festival @ @thefreight.bsky.social. Thank you so much for the uplifting tunes and can hardly wait till 2026 to join you for the next one! 🎶

Nothing about 🇺🇦 without 🇺🇦

It is an honor to serve. Wishing you and yours a Thanksgiving full of warmth, love, and joy!

☕️ BOYCOTT STARBUCKS! Starbucks refuses to stop union busting and settle a fair union contract—while the CEO pockets tens of millions. Don’t buy Starbucks until they end union-busting and treat baristas with dignity. ☕️

Another magical performance, made possible by Berkeley Symphony. This holiday season please consider supporting it so it can provide the magic and beauty of music for thousands of listeners of every age. 🎶 @brentblackaby.bsky.social

Congratulations to the Water Emergency Transportation Authority and @sfbayferry.com on the unveiling of M.V. Zalophus, the next generation of clean transportation. Regional transit is a partnership. I can’t wait to see what’s next! 💦

Electrified to cheer on our neighbors in #oakland at a ribbon cutting for the largest EV charging project of its kind in Northern California, made possible by @avaenergy.org! The success of this effort bodes well for #berkeley in the future! 🔌 ⚡️

Honored to join @afscme3299.bsky.social and all of our Labor siblings on the picket line as they fight for a fair contract with UC. One day longer, one day stronger! 💪 Photo credit: Shamaila Ahmed

It was truly an honor to host Sakai Mayor Nagafuji and his delegation in #downtown #berkeley last night. Arigato Berkeley-Sakai Association for fostering a deep relationship between our two cities. The spirit of partnership and friendship between our two cities is the tide that lifts all boats.

This weekend, the New York Times ran a story claiming Sierra Club’s values have diluted our mission. They couldn’t be more wrong. The list of their errors is too long for one social post, but we go over some examples in these slides.

Thank you to our veterans and those in uniform for your selfless service. Our nation has a solemn obligation to support you with the safety net and health benefits you deserve as a small token of our gratitude.
