I'm excited to announce I have appointed Angélica Salas and John Kim to the Racial Equity Commission. Their experience, expertise, and commitment to uplifting the voices of marginalized communities will be an asset to the Commission and our state.

Calling all Angelenos: it’s time for a new vision of governance. Make your voice heard by taking our survey and telling us how you would reform the City of LA to work for low-income and communities of color. https://t.co/CryExSem85 #OurLA

RT if you think our kids deserve quality schools and public school workers deserve a better living wage. 😌🫶

[John Kim @flowing_chi]

This is HUGE! Fmr LAUSD Sup speaks to invaluable role @SEIULocal99 played during pandemic & that they deserve better from @LASchools. These workers deserve our respect and support - now more than ever!

[Level_Same @AmyBogartz]

Even the former Supt. Buetner urges the current Supt. to step up and provide a meaningful increase in benefits for LAUSD's unions.
LAUSD has 4.9 billion dollars in reserve. Less stressed staff = better learning env for our kids.

Congratulations to @cerisecastle, the 2023 American Mosaic Journalism Prize Awardee at @HSFdn. In 2021 she published “A Tradition of Violence,” a 15-part series revealing deputy gangs operating inside LA County Sheriff’s Department with @KnockDotLA. Info > https://t.co/w66ewAXiCA

Meet Megan McClaire, the Chief Deputy Director for @lapublichealth, who leads by example in promoting health equity with a focus on community engagement and collaboration. She works to address inequities faced by county residents. #WomenInHealthcare #CommunityHealth #HealthEquity

[Catalyst California @CatalystCali]

NEW VIRTUAL TOWN HALL: Register today and join us to discuss #SB50! This crucial new bill would limit law enforcement’s ability to conduct minor traffic stops that lead to police violence, undermine community safety, and waste billions of public dollars. https://t.co/ZcZllWSUEz

It was not about a single endorsement or contributor or ad buy. It was about the movement & the wisdom/power of experienced (women of color) organizers. @KarenBassLA will now take this playbook to a whole new level to lead LA out of this crisis and into a NEW DAY!

[John Kim @flowing_chi]

Humbled to be on stage to celebrate the inauguration of Madam Mayor @KarenBassLA. Awed by her wisdom, courage and tenacity thru the campaign/transition. Excited to see where she leads LA in this critical moment. And holy cow that was @StevieWonder - like 20 ft away!

[Jung Hee Choi @jungheechoi]

“The most impt job right now is the organizer” @dr_robertkross @CalEndow. So amazing to hear the head of a major foundation affirm the critical role of organizers to our democracy & the need to invest in powerbuilding infrastructure. Thank u for your leadership @dr_robertkross

[John Kim @flowing_chi]

Why she gotta curse so much!?! But yes....대한민국 INDEED!

[John Kim @flowing_chi]

@kennethmejiaLA excellent decision. I’ve have always admired @urbanistcole’s work

[Ron Simms Jr. @realronjunior]

@keiryu30489325 @JeongPark52 This is the most BS whitewashing of a vicious colonial period in Japan’s history. A bedtime stories fed to children. No reasoning adult accepts this fiction. Japan attempted colonial control of much of East Asian for decades before it finally got its hands on Korea.

[Catalyst California @CatalystCali]

This year and every year, we’re thankful for YOU – the racial justice advocates, supporters, and donors who fuel our work. Together, we were able to secure major victories for low-income and communities of color in 2022. Check out this recap and message of thanks from our team!
