Our Vision
A Cupertino for All
Cupertino for All is a progressive coalition made up of longtime residents, displaced residents, students, parents, homeowners, renters, and our allies — with the commonly shared belief that we can and should create a more sustainable Cupertino for future generations.
We recognize that our city, as well as the Bay Area, has pursued decades of exclusionary policies, preventing many families from being able to move into town, but we also believe that there is a path forward that is advantageous for current residents of Cupertino as well. With certain policy recommendations, Cupertino can become a more accessible and vibrant town—and our children will realistically have somewhere to live in the future.
Our organization believes that there is a severe housing crisis, and that Cupertino is not exempt from its effects. But even if we were, we have a responsibility to be a good regional partner and mitigate the drastic effects that the crisis has on families across the Bay Area. Yes, we are a relatively small city, but Cupertino nonetheless has a crucial role to play as a jobs rich center. The region has been growing for decades, but we have failed to adapt accordingly by building the necessary housing and transportation services to accommodate this growth. The question is not whether or not we will or should grow— because a quick glance at traffic on Stevens Creek Blvd. shows that we have—but rather if we will choose to let these daytime residents into our community.
Cupertino For All also firmly believes that we have a climate emergency which mandates bold change beyond minor policy changes like plastic straw bans. Our city and others must fundamentally change where and how people live by strategically reducing sprawl and investing in mass transit solutions.
Cupertino for all does not accept donations from political action committees or developers. we are funded only by the donations of volunteers and passionate supporters.
