Berkeley

People come from all over the world to visit, work, and live in Berkeley. We have world class education, research, arts, restaurants and ... in Berkeley you can be yourself. You can think and believe what is true for you. You can buck the trends, you can invent the future, and you can find your voice.

We have a long history of stepping out in front of the crowd with progressive ideas that later become mainstream. Today, everyone has to step out -- whether you're in Berkeley, Washington D.C., China, or India. There is work to be done and it can't wait. It's the work of our future and our children's future. We need to support our researchers, inventors, and city planners who are working to solve mankind's biggest problems. Look around and find the leaders in your own community who you can support.
