.@Scott_Wiener Running a non-electric leaf blower for 1 hr can pollute as much as driving a Toyota Camry 1100 miles. VOTE #YesOnAB1346 to eliminate these harmful emissions! #AB1346 @350BAA

Proud of @HaiyanRB role in this piece and his fight to protect his patients at San Quentin against #COVID. Calls for decarceration, while key, must be met with the resources needed to ensure supportive reentry for vulnerable people at a vulnerable time. https://t.co/jvINcNsk1D
