Once again: On SB 79, #BarbaraLeeSpeaksForMe
cayimby.bsky.social California YIMBY @cayimby.bsky.social · Aug 25
Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee comes out in support of SB 79!

“SB 79 provides essential statewide standards and tools to ensure that all communities do their part in addressing California's housing shortage, while advancing our shared climate and equity goals.”
Dear Senator Wiener. As Mayor of Oakland, I want to express my support for Senate Bill 79 (Wiener) relating to transit oriented development that seeks to create more housing. I see firsthand the urgent need for more housing that is affordable, sustainable, and accessible to working families. The Bay Area continues to face a housing affordability crisis, with rising rents and displacement disproportionately affecting low-income communities, seniors, and communities of color. At the same time, we must ensure that new housing development strengthens, rather than undermines, our commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and creating a more transit-oriented, equitable future. SB 79 takes important steps to address these challenges by ensuring that new homes are built where residents can access jobs, schools, and services without reliance on cars; streamlining approvals for multi-family housing near transit; and empowering transit agencies to build housing on their land, expanding opportunities for affordable development and increasing ridership. Oakland has long been a leader in pursuing equitable transit-oriented development, but we cannot meet the scale of this crisis alone. SB 79 provides essential statewide standards and tools to ensure that all communities do their part in addressing California's housing shortage, while advancing our shared climate and equity goals. For these reasons, I am proud to support SB 79. Thank you for your leadership. Sincerely, Babredge Barbara Lee Mayor, City of Oakland

What a pleasure it's been for the past 21 years to be represented by a member of Congress that I have never had to lobby or email or call or pressure to do the right thing, because she always did. #barbaraleespeaksforme

Today, Barbara Lee shines again in her openly pro #CeasefireNow position. Then and now, Barbara Lee stands strong for diplomacy over bloodshed.

The War on Terror began 25 years ago today, when Congress passed the post-9/11 Authorization for Use of Military Force.

Only one member of Congress had the courage and foresight to oppose this blank check for forever wars: Barbara Lee.

Front row to HERstory. I watched my godmother, Congresswoman Barbara Lee Ret., become the first Black woman Mayor of Oakland. A powerful reminder that when we lead with courage, we shape the future.
