Free flu clinic in Berkeley on October 12
Last year Berkeley gave free flu shots to more than 2,600 people in its one-day free clinic, and this year the city expects to even give out more.

Join Berkeley’s day of action on climate
This Sunday is 10/10/10, which has been declared a day of action on climate by the organization 350.org.

350.org was founded by author Bill McKibben. In 2007 it organized over 2,000 rallies across the United States. By last year, their efforts had … Continue reading »
