Had a fantastic time at the Taste of Dena event, enjoying the rich flavors and vibrant community of Altadena! It was a pleasure to present a “big check” of $3.6 million along with Assemblymember Harabedian to support the Altadena Library District which was allocated from the state budget. ❤️📚

Thank you to everyone who has supported this legislation!

I also must express my deep appreciation to the group of survivors who bravely stood up and publicly shared their stories of trauma to protect students, including at this morning’s press conference in Pasadena. Their commitment to this vital legislation will prevent future abuse.

October is Filipino American History Month. California is home to our nation’s largest population of Filipino Americans with over 1.6 million residents, also making them the state's largest Asian community. This month we commemorate the many contributions and the history of Filipino Americans.

I got my start in public service on the LA community college board—I know that too many students struggle to afford school and rely on lifelines like Medicaid & SNAP.

Proud to bring together local leaders to discuss how we can support students through Trump's devastating cuts.

Such an incredible opportunity to participate in the Regrow Altadena event as I helped distribute the fir regrow kits to families 🌱 The kits, filled with Native Bloom seeds, included a message of resilience as we begin planting the seeds of recovery and empower the next generation.

The new laws I just enacted are a direct response to Trump's lawless immigration raids and arrests in California.

California is fighting to end this chaos by:

💥 Requiring schools and public hospitals to limit access and implement privacy protocols to protect against Trump’s immigration chaos.

Public safety hinges on the trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve — a bond that's been shredded by the reckless immigration quotas ordered by Donald Trump and Stephen Miller.

We will keep standing up for Californians against this administration's dangerous actions.

From @senatorsrp.bsky.social:
Tonight my bill SB 805 “The No Vigilantes Act” was successfully passed off the Assembly floor with urgency language. Bill requires that all law enforcement - including ICE agents - must identify themselves. Also bans use of bounty hunters for immigration enforcement.
