Join the Campaign for a Safer Cubberley and a Stronger Palo Alto


Measure J will protect and preserve a precious community resource and provide dedicated, local funding to keep Palo Alto strong. The Cubberley Community Center is 70 years old and falling into disrepair — it’s time to repair and upgrade this community resource for all Palo Altans.
