Pride is more than visibility. It is whether LGBTQ+ people can afford to stay in Berkeley, move through public space safely, and have a City Hall that treats belonging as something concrete.

District 7 is one of the smallest and most unique council districts in Berkeley. It includes UC Berkeley, Southside, and the Telegraph corridor. It is a renter-majority district, with roughly 2,500 voters, and small margins can decide the outcome.

That matters.
