Add your name: Yes on Measure Y

Berkeley would not be Berkeley without its artists, cultural organizations, performances, and creative spaces. In fact, ninety-three percent of Berkeleyans agree that the arts make Berkeley a special place to live.

Measure Y would provide dedicated funding for Berkeley arts organizations, supporting local jobs and businesses, strengthening our neighborhoods, and generating revenue for the City.
