During this especially busy time of year, we enjoyed spending some quality time with all of the hard working people that make Hollywood the revered film and television production location known as the media capital of the globe.

We could not accomplish everything that we have done, or will do, without your tireless support. Thank you all and happy holidays!

We’re especially grateful to all of our event sponsors, including: Mayer Brown, Jim & Rachel Garrison, @seiu121rn.org, Mercury Public Affairs, Blue Line Solutions, and LAUSD Board Member Nick Melvoin.

We also celebrated the life of Chad Kampbell and thanked his family for sharing him with all of us. Congratulations to all the award recipients!

It was a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge the accomplishments and contributions of Assemblymember Celeste Rodriguez, SEIU California President David Huerta, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and LA Commissioner Mayra Valdez.

Looking forward to many years of continued partnership with such a passionate and knowledgeable group of climate activists!

It’s also clear that the Congressional Republican leadership is not acting in good faith. I trust that our Democratic federal representatives will continue to fight for everyone in our community.

An agreement that rips away healthcare from Americans, or alternatively drives up their healthcare costs, is not an agreement that puts people first. Simply put, it is not the best that we can do.

There are some good components of the compromise, including a commitment to fully fund SNAP for the immediate future.

But the tentative agreement would have the federal government turn its back on some of the most vulnerable members of our community.

Donald Trump can’t rig the midterm elections, and California is ready to fight.

This victory wouldn’t have been possible without all of you. Thank you for voting!

Please return your ballot or vote in person this weekend. And be sure to vote YES on Proposition 50!
