I also want to thank Asm Kalra, @AsmConnolly, and @AsmSadeElhawary and Asm. @ib2_real and many others for joining us in celebrating 20 years of feminist policy with @womensfoundca last week. Thank you for all the great work you do & for uplifting the SPI cohort!! #SPI2025
So grateful for Asm. @Ash_Kalra for authoring AB 878!
This important legislation will allow victims of violence and abuse to stay safe by requesting reasonable accommodations from their landlords, such as unit transfer, or parking spot changes and more!
California is ready to fight.
I just called an emergency special session to help bolster our legal resources and protect our state against any unlawful actions by the incoming Trump Administration.
Whether it be our fundamental civil rights, reproductive freedom, or climate action -- we refuse to turn back the clock and allow our values and laws to be attacked.

When @TSA breaks your lock to inspect your luggage and doesn’t bother to put a notice of inspection 👀 did y’all think I wouldn’t notice the missing lock?
We are shocked and disturbed to learn that a landlord in Chicago expressing anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian views broke into a Muslim family's apartment and attacked them with a knife, injuring the mother and killing her 6-year-old son, Wadea Al-Fayoume. @cairchicago will hold a press conference this afternoon to share more details, God willing. The Islamophobic rhetoric and anti-Palestinian racism being spread by politicians, media outlets, and social media platforms must stop. Now. #Palestine #Israel #Islamophobia #Wadea
The level of anti-Arab hate and rhetoric hasn’t been this high since the aftermath of 9/11. It is far worse than the Trump years.
We’ve received many calls for assistance in dealing with threats and intimidation. Schools across the country are vilifying Palestinians, and elected officials are setting up the stage for hate crimes against Arabs.
Most of the hate is coming from liberals and Democrats. This troubling development will have serious implications in the future.

@Khansadiaf@GavinNewsom I worked all day yesterday on #AB28 and got 3 emails from my kid’s school—police activity near the school, suspect at large; all clear; false rumors re school safety. We don’t have to live like this. @CAgovernor pls sign #AB28 & #SB2#KeepGoing
@Olaina@GavinNewsom@CAgovernor I’m so sorry, it’s honestly horrifying receiving these emails, searching for news articles to try and figure out if our kids are ok or not etc.
The absolute irony that I’m on my way to the #AB28 press conference and I’m alerted of an active shooter at a business just a few blocks from my sons school. @GavinNewsom please sign #AB28!

Jaahnavi Kandula came here for graduate work from India. She was killed on a crosswalk by a speeding police car, & Officer Auderer said her life had “limited value.” I thought of my Dad who came here in his 20s. Mr. Auderer, the life of every Indian immigrant has infinite value.
From Japanese incarceration during World War II to the rise of Islamophobia post 9/11,
Asian Americans understand all too well the dangerous implications of national security programs — and what can happen when they go unchecked. 🧵
Everyone needs to remember the name Jaahnavi Kandula. She was a 23 year old student who was hit and killed by speeding Seattle police earlier this year. Other cops were then caught laughing about her death and calling her "limited value." She leaves behind a single mom in India
✍️ Assembly Bill 28 by @AsmJesseGabriel would protect our children and communities from mass shootings by creating a sustainable funding source for proven gun violence prevention and school safety programs.
@lauraladida @GavinNewsom Thank YOU for all of your hard work in getting this bill through both houses! It’s been an absolute honor to advocate alongside you and the amazing @MomsDemand volunteers over the past few months. ☺️
After the Uvalde shooting the 4th graders at my sons school organized a bake sale to “end gun violence.” As a school board member and a parent I don’t want our kids to carry this burden. @GavinNewsom I’m counting on you to sign #AB28 and create a permanent funding stream. #CALeg
As a staff member at Safe Return Project, our community programs in Richmond rely on #CalVIP funding. We are so grateful to have had the support of the #CALeg super majority vote to pass #AB28. In CA, we pride ourselves in being bold leaders- Let's get this signed @GavinNewsom
According to the right wing folks calling into the sen appropriate committee 17 year olds shouldn’t be allowed to vote because they aren’t responsible……. But they’re responsible enough to be forced into unwanted pregnancies/parenthood??
