This op-ed written by my colleague Feliza Ortiz-Licon, the Campaign's Executive Vice President, is an essential read in this moment following the election. We must recognize the incredible value immigrants bring to our country. https://t.co/m2tM14ZFWj

Thank you to @GavinNewsom for taking bold & courageous action on transformational policy #AB2057, #SB1348, and #AB1780 to help level the playing field for Latinx, Black, Asian American & NHPI, and AIAN students in California higher education.

Lawmakers want to ban legacy admissions at CA private colleges, even though few admit students that way. Bill backers say it will signal to students that college is for them in the aftermath of the national ban on affirmative action. https://t.co/qTfAz641xY

From fairer college admissions to recognizing Black-Serving Institutions, CA is innovating the way towards #HigherEd equity. @CAGovernor can take action on bills to break down barriers & champion equal opportunity for all students! #AB1780 #AB2057 #SB1348 https://t.co/sjwdom529g

Back in 2021, when we established a new Office of Climate Change and Health Equity, I was asked by reporters to provide a concrete example of potential climate work at HHS. That example is playing out today in Oregon and MA with Medicaid waivers.

The #MayRevise shows the challenges CA is facing. In order to ensure that our most vulnerable students can harness the power of a college degree—which will power CA through turbulent times—we urge for a multi-year pathway to recovery centered in equity. https://t.co/vNCZLulO7y
