Telegraph for People

Telegraph for People is a student organization at UC Berkeley fighting for safe and vibrant streets for people in our city.

Our flagship priority is making Telegraph Avenue car-free near the UC Berkeley campus (on 3 blocks from Haste to Bancroft). We want to create a vibrant public realm, more space and safety for pedestrians and cyclists, faster and more reliable buses, and revitalized small businesses.

We believe that students have the power to make real change in Berkeley if we organize and fight for our needs.

TFP meetings are every Monday 7-8 PM in 214B Wurster Hall. (Calendar)
