Renters are twice as likely as homeowners to consider leaving LA due to high housing costs.

Sadly, LA is not unique. We need a comprehensive federal plan of action to address this crisis and bring affordability & accessibility back to housing. latimes.com/homeless-housi…

Disgraceful.  Rather than strengthening relationships w/ our allies, once again the Pro-Putin caucus shows its true colors by denying a critical East African ally a chance to address Congress. The Kenyan people & President Ruto deserve far more respect.

Today is #FreeThePill day—a reminder that access to birth control shouldn't be a luxury, it's a fundamental right. Our Members are dedicated to safeguarding access to contraceptive care so that everyone can make the best decisions for their bodies, lives, and futures!

“Intuitively” = we can’t find a shred of proof, but we need to villainize immigrants to further our xenophobic extremist agenda and delegitimize election results if they don’t go in our favor.

Disgusting, deeply irresponsible rhetoric.

To our Haitian siblings in the #MA7 and beyond:

We have not forgotten you and we'll never stop fighting for the just future you need and deserve.

Congress and the Biden Administration must move urgently to stabilize Haiti, address the crises on the island, and save lives.

Happy #TeacherAppreciationWeek !

This week, we celebrate the incredible dedication, passion, & impact of teachers everywhere.

Thank you to all of the amazing teachers in the East Bay & across the country for supporting and shaping the next generation! 🍎✏️💪🏾

REMINDER: House Republicans voted to cut 224,000 teacher jobs

On #YomHaShoah , we mourn and honor the 6 million Jewish lives lost to hate-fueled violence in the Holocaust.

Amid an alarming rise in antisemitism, we must recommit to fighting bigotry, hate crimes, and violations of human rights.

¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo to all celebrating in California!

Today, we honor the Mexican victory at the Battle of Puebla and the rich heritage & culture of the Mexican American community.

A Black Woman was victim to pandering, racist remarks and gestures, and hateful speech with the hope of breeding fear, isolation, and retreat.

She marched forward anyway.

I hope racists like Mike Collins took note of that as well.

#ForCultureForCommunity

Last year, I sent a letter to President Biden calling on his administration to expand health coverage for #DACA recipients. Today, he came through! 👏🏾

This move will impact thousands. #Dreamers are Americans, and they deserve accessible, affordable, quality health care.

Black women are 1.5X more likely to be sent home because of their hair. Discrimination against Black women & girls because of their natural hair is far too common in our workplaces & schools.

I’m proud to help lead the  #CROWNAct , which would ban race-based hair discrimination.

Happy #JewishAmericanHeritageMonth !

This month and every month, we celebrate the contributions that Jewish Americans provide to the rich fabric of our great nation and recommit to fighting antisemitism and prejudice in all forms. #OurSharedHeritage

Wishing everyone in the East Bay a joyful Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month!

Let's unite in honoring the history, vibrant cultures, and invaluable contributions of AANHPIs to our nation this month. #AANHPIHeritageMonth

This is a step in the right direction. But to be clear: cannabis must be fully descheduled in order to end the War on Drugs and repair harm to communities of color.

This move is progress for businesses, but we can’t let it undermine comprehensive reform.

When someone reveals their true character to you the first time, believe them.

Young people have always been at the forefront of movements for justice & peace.
 
Thinking of all the brave students exercising their 1st amendment rights in protest of war, violence, & militarism. Stay strong. Your voices matter.
