  • Balanced Budget and A Shared Future

    January 11, 2013 by Mark Cloutier

    The prospect of a balanced state budget offers all Californians the hope that further cuts to health, education, housing, infrastructure and other critical services may come to an end. As a state, we can stop borrowing from the future and preserve current educational, health and economic development programs to stem our declines in school performance, [...]

  • Transit-Oriented Affordable Housing Fund Earns Award

    December 20, 2012 by Kate White

    I’ve never owned a car. When I need a quart of milk, I walk downstairs to the corner store.  For my 15-minute commute, I walk two blocks to BART. Walking, biking, and taking transit to everything I need means I not only save $5,000 a year (versus owning a car), I also have a healthy [...]

  • Remembering Our Friend and Leader: Warren Hellman

    December 18, 2012 by Sandra R. Hernández, M.D.

    How both slow and fast can a year go by? So many times, reaching for the phone, we went to get your view, your story, your joke of the day. We have had moments in the mountains, in meetings,  on a hike, on a bike, on a horse, at a concert or rehearsal and you [...]

  • Community Building at Its Best

    December 12, 2012 by Prasi Gupta

    Growing up as an Indian American, I know just how complex the fabric of our society is; how far we have come and how far we still have to go for all of the people that live within America’s borders to feel welcomed and accepted. Last week, we convened grantees of the One Nation Bay [...]

  • Why Discuss Class?

    December 7, 2012 by Yolanda Alindor

    A few weeks ago, my book club discussed Danny Dorling’s No Nonsense Guide to Equality. Danny Dorling is a British economist who creatively and repeatedly made the case for why equality is better for everyone–rich and poor alike—than inequality. Many of his examples were startling: inequality affects selection of careers and marriage partners, the stature [...]
