Hey John,

Housing, climate justice, and animal rights activists are wearing GREEN and marching from the houseless encampment at Golden Gate Fields to Berkeley City Hall to demand #TheGreenNewCity. Join this plant-based food serve and trash pick-up, then rally with us to City Hall as we demand housing, climate justice, and animal rights. The city’s houseless population has increased by 42% to 1000+ people, and wildfires driven by climate change threaten thousands more. Meanwhile, the ultra rich use huge swaths of land for cruel purposes such as horse-racing, even as ordinary people live in squalor right across the street. We need to make Berkeley #TheGreenNewCity — one where we bravely confront the climate crisis, enshrine housing as a human right, and live with respect towards our planet and all its inhabitants. Come rally and march with us at TheGreenNewCity: Rally for Housing, Climate Justice and Animals Saturday, February 29th, at the Golden Gate Fields, West of Gilman encampment.
