Welcome back to Tomorrows Table Podcast. Today’s episode is powerful, resourceful, and deeply community-centered—we’re joined by Mayor Susannah Meyer of Brentwood.

Fun fact: we had the honor of recording this conversation inside the City Council Chambers, where community voices are heard and decisions are made that shape everyday life for families and residents.

Mayor Meyer shares how she’s preserving the heart of small-town Brentwood while thoughtfully bringing innovation forward—through farm-to-fork initiatives, community gardens, and sustainable local growth that keep neighbors connected to their food and to each other.

Welcome back to Moms Building Community and Tomorrowstable Podcast! Today we’re honored to sit down with Contra Costa County District Attorney Diana Becton. DA Becton has dedicated her career to public service—serving more than 22 years as a judge in Contra Costa County, including as Presiding Judge, and since 2017 leading the District Attorney’s Office. She also made history as the first woman, first African American, and first person of color to serve as Contra Costa County District Attorney. Today, we’re talking about community safety, resources for families, and how youth and residents can stay engaged and informed.

Today’s interview with Judge Dan Healy was nothing short of phenomenal. As Supervising Judge at the Vallejo courthouse, he presides over felony matters and several collaborative treatment calendars including Drug Court, Reentry Court, Mental Health Court, and Veterans Treatment Court work that centers treatment, accountability, and dignity for impacted residents. Judge Dan Healy’s insight is vital and needed for our communities. We were in awe listening to how he leads with empathy, understanding, and accountability seeing the human story beyond the charge, without letting the charge define the person. What moved us most was how he conveyed it and how he proceeds as a judge. A leader with compassion is powerful to witness.
