Protect Berkeley’s Arts

Berkeley would not be the same without great live theater. The arts give our community a reason to come together, spend time in our neighborhoods, and see Berkeley in a new way. If you agree that we need reliable, dedicated support for Berkeley’s arts, add your name and join our coalition.

Adding your name declares your support for Measure Y and joins you to a growing citywide coalition working to pass it. Vote by November 3.
