At her final Community Leaders Breakfast, Chancellor Christ surprised me with the most incredible gift to thank me for my service.

It has been such an honor representing & fighting for the campus community alongside Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin. You’ll see us on the field soon!

Go Bears 💙💛

not a lot going on at the moment

A 27-year-old Berkeley city council member wanted to build more affordable housing. Relentless harassment from 'left NIMBYs' pushed him to resign. trib.al/5zjvvOU

Rigel Robinson was a Consul of Rome.

A hero walks among us.

Principled leadership always wins over vitriol.

Also, just a cool thing to see during the Sunday long run. Physically strong and mentally fit to push forward with positivity, love & kindness. That's how we do.

I've been informed that my last major piece of legislation was approved by the City Council this week. This proposal will begin the process to legalize new corner stores and neighborhood-scale retail. Big W for walkable neighborhoods.

To my former colleagues: thanks and i miss u

oh no

The first #berkmtg w/o Rigel Robinson was personally difficult for me.

I am reflecting on how much civility and kindness Rigel brought to the Council.

Everyday, he delivered a master class on how to disagree without being disagreeable and it will remain an inspiration.

The District 7 seat sat empty at Tuesday's regular city council meeting after Rigel Robinson announced his resignation last week. Following the news of his resignation, Chesney Evert and I checked in with the other councilmembers and Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin. 1/2

Rigel Robinson was a rising star in Bay Area politics. At 22, he was the youngest person to be elected to the Berkeley City Council and now at 27 was a front-runner to become its youngest mayor this year.

Now he is leaving politics. Here's why: sfchronicle.com/politics/joega…

It’s been brought to my attention that this tweet is broken and the picture attached is invisible to others, which would make my weird and dramatic post seem even more weird and dramatic. Whoops. This app is falling apart!

Rigel Robinson was often the glue holding the Council together, deftly threading the needle of compromise and doing it all with a smile and an uncommon generosity of spirit.

We will miss you, but I know you will come back stronger than a 90s trend.

Rigel, thank you for your hard work & dedication to our community. Your intelligence & commitment have been a gift to Berkeley and your departure is a loss for me personally, and for our city.

It has been a pleasure serving with you & I wish you the best in your next adventures.
