In this last part of our three-part interview with Mayor - Jesse Arreguín, Council Member of District 3 - Ben Bartlett, and Chief of Staff (to the Mayor) - Jaqueline McCormick we continue our conversation on how, as administrators of the City of Berkeley, they took up the challenge of equity as it relates to the city's housing crisis by linking arms and brainstorming with local organizers to think outside the box to try and usher in new and equitable solutions to rooted wrongs in housing and development injustices. What plans are underway to finance an initiative like Equitable Black Berkeley? What needs to be in place to ensure EBB stays true to its longterm vision? What does economic sustainability look like? Does EBB advance the conversation on Reparations for Black Berkeley?

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
