Workers—regardless of status—deserve dignity, not raids. Safety, not militarized violence. Today, I stood with labor and community leaders to say: San Diego will not be silent. We will not be complicit.

Let’s organize. Protect each other. Speak truth. Demand better.

Councilmember Jen Campbell held up a picture of an ADU development in Clairemont yesterday as an example of poor design.

I was at that exact ADU complex on Friday and spoke with a tenant, Sarah Agudo. She told me she loved her home and is glad it got built.

One thing Newsom should do *right now* is a statewide rent freeze. They did it during lockdown, they can do it again. And yes, statewide, because every landlord within 200 miles of LA is eagerly waiting for fire refugees to move into their area.
What can we expect to come from these fires?

Housing is fucked. Rents will skyrocket. Homelessness will go up. People will leave the area. Unemployment will expand. The film and tv industry is even more screwed. Building materials will run short. Infrastructure repairs will bankrupt cities.

"Through working with these families, I’ve been seeing an unfathomable amount of price gouging for housing."

This is abhorrent, but let's be clear: it’s just a more extreme version of what we see every day in cities across the country, where landlords exploit desperate renters for maximum profit.
California Fires Lead to Prices Hikes on Some L.A. Rentals
Despite a law against price gouging during a state of emergency, some rental listings have shot up above the allowable 10 percent overnight.

So glad many of you are finding my SD starter pack useful! I’ve been updating it as best I can, but it’s getting beyond my ability to keep up.

If you or someone you know should be on this list, please let me know!

AOC comes out swinging against a Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride.

"They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

Measure G, a half-cent sales tax that would have given 64% of revenue to public transit in San Diego County, has failed 51-49. A closer look at the results show strong support in urban areas wasn't enough to overcome opposition in the suburbs. 1/ www.kpbs.org/news/local/2...
Measure G failure shows urban-suburban divide over funding for public transit
The city of San Diego and most of the South Bay saw majorities supporting Measure G. But that wasn't enough to counteract strong opposition in North and East County suburbs.

Here’s the good news: The Working Families Party builds power from the bottom up.

And this election cycle, we turned out and elected local, state, and federal candidates who will fight to make life better for regular working people.

Here's a snapshot.
