Note: Although we make endorsements throughout the East Bay, we are primarily organized in northern Alameda County, especially Berkeley and Oakland. As a result, we may occasionally miss progressive candidates and ballot measure positions in other parts of the East Bay. You may also wish to review the endorsements of Our Revolution Contra Costa, the Richmond Progressive Alliance, the FUN Progressives (Fremont, Union City, and Newark), the Alameda Progressives (City of Alameda), and Our Revolution San Leandro in order to help you fill out your ballot.
