(1/2) Happy Hanukkah to our Jewish community in AD-16.
Tonight, as we light the first candle, we are reminded that even in difficult and uncertain times, light endures. Hanukkah is a celebration of resilience, faith, and the power of community values, which feel especially meaningful right now.

Please heed this call to stand with us against antisemitism. May the memories of those whose lives were lost in Bondi Beach be for a blessing and a clear call to everyone to see what is happening right now and fight alongside their Jewish community for a world filled with more acceptance and love.

Proud to share that the Wagner Ranch Nature Area acquisition is complete. A $1.5M state investment secured this 16-acre Orinda treasure for future generations. Excited to see JMLT restore the site and reopen it as an outdoor classroom for local students. a16.asmdc.org/press-releas...

As Thanksgiving approaches, it’s important to remember that many families in our community are facing food insecurity.

In California, more than 1 in 5 households struggle to afford enough food: rising to 27% for families with children.

Honored to celebrate with this incredible group of leaders last week at Emerge California’s “Women Leading the Way” event. Standing alongside Malia Cohen, Betty Yee, Rhodesia Ransom, and Mia Bonta reminded me how far we’ve come, and how important it is to keep fighting for equal representation.
