Alameda & Contra Costa Counties
The East Bay region encompasses Alameda and Contra Costa counties, including the diverse communities of Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond, Fremont, Walnut Creek, Concord, Lamorinda and the San Ramon/Tri-Valley areas. The region also takes in a number of colleges and universities, including University of California at Berkeley. The East Bay Council represents this widely diverse community through its political, Jewish community and civic affiliations. Because the East Bay is so geographically dispersed, it is imperative that the strength of the JCRC serve as an umbrella for our many constituencies in areas of anti-Semitism, Israel advocacy and political affairs.
