After receiving her endorsement in May, it was great to connect in person with #DoloresHuerta at the #CADEM E-Boards on Saturday!
She’s a fountain of info & wisdom, & is passionate about workers, agricultural communities & the environment.
I’m honored to be recognized by an icon.
Congratulations to @WestsideDarling and to the community that's putting in the time and treasure to make sure our neighborhoods are a place where everyone will thrive!
LA’s progressive moment is arriving. @kennethmejiaLA@WestsideDarling@HugoForCD13 beat back the establishment & special interests. Other first time candidates like @EunissesH had strong showings.
LA needs big change that puts people first.
We can do it.
On to November.
To qualify for the ballot a candidate needs 500 in-district signatures. We submitted 964 today. Thank you to all the amazing volunteers who made this happen! This is the kind of grassroots campaign I hoped for: neighbors talking to neighbors. Thank you!
When frontline communities lead, all communities are protected! Watch Ashley Hernandez and @MarthaDinaPSRLA talk about @STAND_LA’s historic win, yesterday, and what it will mean for communities on @CBSLA. #NoDrillingWhereWereLiving
No one should live on our streets. Period.
But laws like 41.18(d), which criminalize being unhoused, don’t lead to more people in housing.
How do I know this? Because we’ve been enacting them for over 100 years in LA — and the situation has only gotten worse. (thread)
Let’s get something straight: LA has not defunded the LAPD. Not even close.
Political candidates, the LAPPL, talk radio, and social media are all shouting about defunding and its consequences. But it’s a lie – a lie that is making us and our neighborhoods less safe. (thread)
@Optum Care California Revenue Operations Team donated 100 women's hygiene kits and 100 for men. That's about 1 month of coordination by their office. Thank you!
Today, @SenHenryStern announced he will introduce legislation to #ShutAlisoDown in 2023!🎉
We are so excited to do this work and expose what the @californiapuc and @GavinNewsom have failed to do: put action behind words!
💪Let's get this done. It's past time for failed promises.
An anticipated study found that hundreds of L.A. County Sheriff’s deputies said they have been recruited to join secretive, sometimes gang-like cliques that operate within department stations https://t.co/5SHehi4rf7
Were Sheriff Villanueva's recent appearances at encampments not just a reelection ploy but also a distraction from the lawlessness in his own department? Really do Google "LASD gangs"
EXCLUSIVE: This artist says he inked a #Banditos tattoo six months after Sheriff Alex Villanueva banned deputy cliques in the LA County Sheriff's Dept. The sheriff claimed he cleaned up the East LA station after his election.

@SpecNews1SoCal
My life has taught me that we’re all fragile and that we all fall down. To solve homelessness and the crises facing LA, we need to lift each other up.
This is a fight for a better Los Angeles.
There’s a lot at stake and I need your help.
GrassRoots Neighbors @grn_ftp are making a difference! The group (led by a lot of Moms & kids!) have been doing homeless outreach at Westchester Park. Today they worked w @pathpartners@shareselfhelp@LAHomeless, starting to connect 20 people to services & housing.
.@SoCalGas' Ventura Compressor Station was identified by @NASA as a super-emitter of methane‼️ and it's located next to an elementary school and the Boys & Girls Club??
Join us in Ventura 7/17 to #StopSoCalGas & urge @GavinNewsom for a #FossilFreeFuture https://t.co/2LP3MxnFkM
The freedom to choose who leads us is critical to every other freedom we enjoy. While they distract you with Dr. Seuss, the anti-freedom faction that controls the GOP today is hellbent on stealing your most essential freedom - your vote. Call your Senators. #DemandDemocracy
