Vote NO on Measure Z
$58 million
from Berkeley homes and businesses, over six years
$0
from Oakland, Richmond or Alameda County
No branches. No ATMs. No guarantee it ever gets licensed to operate.
Key Questions Voters Should Consider
Why should Berkeley finance projects in Oakland, Richmond and Alameda County?
Why are out-of-town individuals and organizations spending $155,000 on a Berkeley measure?
Why replicate existing programs already directing billions to the same causes?
