Happy Thanksgiving, California! 🦃🍂

I’m grateful for the kindness, resilience, and sense of community that make our state so special. Wishing you and your loved ones a safe, warm, and joyful holiday.

Honored to join the incredible team at @glidesf.bsky.social to serve breakfast to our neighbors in the Tenderloin.

At a time when many families are facing food insecurity, GLIDE continues to lead with dignity, love & compassion. Grateful to every volunteer who showed up to lift up our community.

I opposed yesterday’s UC tuition increase because students shouldn’t be the solution to structural deficits.

Californians are struggling to afford basic necessities. Raising tuition only pushes the dream to pursue higher education further out of reach.

For decades, Oxnard residents raised concerns about the Ormond Beach Power Plant & its impact on local air quality.

After 7 months of negotiations, we reached an agreement with the plant’s operator, GenOn, to invest $1.5M in air quality monitoring & public outreach as part of their lease extension.

California & the White House do not share the same values, especially when it comes to feeding our kids.

This SNAP/CalFresh disruption wasn’t unavoidable. The administration has the funds to prevent it.

This is an intentionally manufactured hunger crisis, & American families are paying the price.

This #FilipinoAmericanHistoryMonth, I visited Spoon and Fork to meet chef Joanne Suavillo who shares her Filipina heritage through delicious dishes like lumpia, tapsilog, lechon kawaii, and halo halo.

California: let’s support local Filipino American gems like Spoon and Fork this month & beyond!

In honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I joined Sen. Susan Rubio — a fearless advocate for survivors — to shine a light on an issue that affects far too many families across CA.

Nearly 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men in the U.S. experience domestic violence.

Happy #NationalTransferStudentWeek!
🎓

We’re celebrating our amazing transfer students & @senatorcabaldon.bsky.social’s bill, SB 640, which will make CSU admissions easier & less stressful.

TY @governor.ca.gov for signing this bill into law!

Here’s to smoother pathways and brighter futures! 🌟

CA’s nurses & health care workers are the backbone of our care system.

I’m proud to stand with #UNACUHCP members this morning on the picket line in Oakland because when they fight for fair pay, safe staffing, & respect on the job — they’re fighting for all of us.
