Serve as a liaison between WEBAIC members, the larger community, and local government;

Maintain a viable land base for our uses through equitable zoning policies as outlined in the West Berkeley Plan;

Promote the network of interrelationships among West Berkeley production, distribution, repair, reuse, and cultural businesses;

Educate the public and policymakers about the contributions of industry and the arts to Berkeley's sustainability through the economy, equity, environment, and culture;

Work cooperatively as good neighbors with the larger community, so we can say tomorrow what we say today –  West Berkeley Works!

Your membership will help to continue the effort to maintain
a sustainable urban environment in West Berkeley - a place for all of us to thrive.
