From St. Louis. Now an Angeleno. Policy nerd. Fighting for social justice, affordable housing, & equitable community development. My opinions are my own.

Just, wow.

In a city that is roughly 50% Latinx & majority tenants, it is @mikebonin who has been the most consistent leader on renters' rights/protections. Racial solidarity ain't about identity politics/platitudes. It's about action to support those most impacted by inequities.

🥳 BREAKING NEWS: #SB972 was signed by @GavinNewsom !🎉 We are so grateful to all of the vendors, advocates, and activists who worked hard to make this happen!

Today I announced my resignation as Executive Director of @LAHomeless. This decision did not come easily but was the right thing to do. LAHSA and our system partners work miracles every day and unfortunately, they will continue to hit a wall until there are fundamental shifts

I just became the first U.S. Secretary of Education to call on President Biden to unilaterally cancel student loan debt. Can I count on you to retweet and help me hit 35k followers so we can spread the word?

@BarbChamberlain Hi Barb. Thanks for reaching out. Please credit the LA Metro Design Studio for the picture. Let me know if you have other questions.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Give @CoriBush her flowers 💐 she just paved the way for 11 million renters in the United States.

Servant leadership in action.

[Doug Smith @DougSmth]

Thanks to @frankshyong for calling the question: Will we decide to value human rights over property rights, or just double down on "the futility of trying to find solutions that average these two perspectives"?

On this day in 1917, white supremacists burned East St. Louis to the ground and murdered hundreds of Black people — and most people have no idea it ever happened.

The truth about white supremacy needs to be taught in every classroom in this country.

Big news: SB 796 — @SteveBradford's bill to lift state restrictions and allow the @CountyofLA to return Bruce's Beach — just passed the State Senate UNANIMOUSLY.

Together we can set an historic precedent for how we as a nation can begin to atone for the sins of our past.

Again, pandemic unemployment is $1200/month, which is $7.50/hour or $14,400/year.

If employers can't hire staff because they can't compete with those numbers, they need a new business model.
