Dear Gov. Newsom,
I urge you to protect the tenants at 1921 Walnut St. in downtown Berkeley. The University of California should not be evicting long-term and rent-controlled tenants, and permanently destroying affordable housing stock in California, especially during an affordable housing crisis. As the President of the UC Board of Regents and my elected Governor, I ask you to stand with the tenants and make a public statement in support of protecting 1921 Walnut St. Please do the right thing and help us stop all plans to evict or displace these tenants. I look forward to a swift resolution of this issue.
Sincerely,

Dear Chancellor Christ,
I urge you to protect the tenants at 1921 Walnut St. and to stop any redevelopment of 1921 Walnut St. in downtown Berkeley. UC should not be evicting long-term and rent-controlled tenants, and permanently destroying affordable housing stock in Berkeley, especially during an affordable housing crisis. I understand UC has scoped out 12 other sites for housing and so UC does not need to evict these tenants in order to build new housing for its students. Please do the right thing and halt all plans to displace these tenants and pledge to not evict these tenants. I look forward to a swift resolution of this issue.
Sincerely,

Who You’re Contacting: Jacyln Safier - President of The Helen Diller Foundation (Redeveloper/Donor of the project) and CEO of Prometheus Real Estate Group, Inc.

Dear Jaclyn Safier,
I urge you to protect the tenants at 1921 Walnut St. and to stop any redevelopment of 1921 Walnut St. in downtown Berkeley. I understand you are the donor and developer of a planned project at that site. You should not participate in evicting long-term and rent-controlled tenants, and permanently destroying affordable housing stock in California. Please halt all plans that would displace these tenants and pledge to not evict these tenants. I look forward to a swift resolution of this issue.
Sincerely,
