I've been a resident of Berkeley since 1967 and graduated Berkeley High School in 1981 and excepted by the University of California at Berkeley but chose to attend San Francisco State University.

I served on the Peace and Justice Commission from 1998 to 1999 with Mark Macdonald where I was involved with the Ethnic Studies victory at UC Berkeley in 1999 and spearheaded the name change at Berkeley's Columbus elementary school to that of Rosa Parks.

My many political experiences include working for a pilot program for bio-diesel use in 38 AC Transit buses at the cost of 938,000 dollars AND fighting off the dreaded transit village at Ashby BART and the BRT (Bus Rapid Transit).

Along with being part of the our diverse community, I lead the longest (648 days) urban tree-sit in history at the Oak Grove Memorial Stadium. This FREE SPEECH action also helped to:

• daylight the 500 million dollar deal between UC Berkeley and BP (British Petroleum) to cut down the Amazon Rain forest to make Green Energy (switchgrass).
• secure the return of the remains of 13,000 Native American from the hands of UC Berkeley.
• I have also worked to raise concerns regarding the demolition of Berkeley's Bevatron , a WWII particle accelerator. The 4700+ truck loads of nuclear waste from this DOE facility. were carted away thru our streets to Indian lands in Nevada.

I have previously run for Mayor of Berkeley with success and have received the past endorsements from such notables as Cindy Sheehan, Wilson Riles, Late Councilmember Donna Spring and UC Berkeley professor Ignacio Chapela. I'm currently working with international implications on a stop driving campaign in its third year. www.stopdriving.org
