AB 470 doesn’t protect consumers. It protects corporations. It lets AT&T walk away from its duty to provide basic phone service, especially to low income, rural, and fire prone communities. #NoOnAB470 #CALeg @AsmMarkGonzalez @AsmPacheco

Let’s be clear: AB 353 doesn’t lower costs. It lowers standards. And only for our most vulnerable communities. That’s not justice. That’s redlining. #StopAB353

What happened to @AlexPadilla4CA today is a violation of democratic norms and an escalation of the federal government’s response to peaceful dissent. We stand with Senator Padilla and with all fighting back against the overmilitarization of immigration enforcement.

@GPSN_LA Digital equity has also become a critical issue for multilingual learner (MLL) families in LAUSD. @GPSN_LA's new report shows a steep decline in MLL families with barrier-free internet (from 24% to just 10%). https://t.co/pwZ2DlfOYh

Cost is the biggest barrier to quality internet for #LAUSD families, with 53% citing affordability as their main challenge - up from 42% last year. The economic strain is especially severe for very low-income households. Read the new @GPSN_LA report: https://t.co/pwZ2Dlfh8J

AB 470 turns a consumer protection into a corporate option, letting AT&T walk away from its obligation to provide basic phone service. This is dangerous for rural, senior, and low-income communities. #StopAB470 @asmtasha @joshHooverCA @PatrickForAD26 @AsmCaloza @AsmMiaBonta

Today, ABC is in Sacramento fighting for affordable broadband! Rent is up. Food is up. And broadband? It’s one of the most overpriced utilities in CA. Families shouldn’t have to choose between staying connected and paying their bills. #AffordableInternetNow

Karen Bass did not cut $17 million from the fire budget. Los Angeles is busy today, with better things to do than feed you budget appropriations. So I will—
1. In '23 the department spent $12 million on new SCBAs because the old set expired. This was not a recurring expense!
