Create an Environmental Department to prioritize environmental issues as is effectively done in San Francisco and San Jose. Appoint more African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos, and students to City Commissions to better reflect the diversity of our city. End “Trickle Down Development,” and put in place community benefit agreements before projects are approved. Train city staff to better support small businesses, homeowners, and contractors with permitting information. Establish a Neighborhood Notification Network that will allow residents to find out what City government is doing to improve the city. "Kriss Worthington has been standing up for working people and social justice ever since I first met him in the 1970s, when he was a volunteer for the United Farm Workers." — Dolores Huerta, Co-founder, United Farm Workers of America
