A voice like mine has never been a Cabinet secretary or at the head of the Department of Interior.
Growing up in my mother’s Pueblo household made me fierce. I’ll be fierce for all of us, our planet, and all of our protected land.
I am honored and ready to serve.

In the 48 hrs following the announcement of @KamalaHarris as VP, the Biden campaign raised over $48M. Less than 24hrs after RBG left us, Democrats raised over $70M. Strong women change everything. They carry us through our worst + show us our best. If we win, it's because of them
The reports of armed groups and roadblocks in east Multnomah County are extremely concerning. I will not tolerate vigilantism of any kind in our county, especially when it further traumatizes people escaping a disaster. My full statement: https://t.co/FIzXr078Vq
These federal police are pointing firearms at members of the public because some people broke windows, graffitied walls, and threw rocks at them last night.
Today, Meyer Memorial Trust announced Justice Oregon for Black Lives, a five-year, $25 million investment in Black leadership, Black-serving organizations and systems-level change, the largest initiative the foundation has ever made. https://t.co/1GFzYrCMJ2
"When President Trump and others point exclusively to lagging death figures during a surge, they are trying to tell you that America is, secretly, winning the war on COVID-19. But we’re not," @DKThomp writes: https://t.co/3F01h9hb1T

#BREAKING: In a historic win #SCOTUS has ruled in favor of LGBTQ employees. Amid continued murders of Black people & powerful uprisings, we take a moment to celebrate today. This victory reflects the work of trans leaders who fought to make this possible. https://t.co/eZ2nOg7iI8
Grateful and relieved for today's SCOTUS decision to uphold DACA. Dreamers are our neighbors, friends, students and colleagues — integral to the fabric of our community and country. Thinking today of the Dreamers living and thriving in Multnomah County and across the country.
The Black community has done so much labor to get here. Our youth have done SO MUCH labor to get here
I love my job. I look forward to being in relationship with you all as we create #PoliceFreeSchools in @PPSConnect.
I've said this before, but for all the people who believe you definitely would have been abolitionists in the era of slavery, who you are today is who you would have been then. You don't need to imagine scenarios of living in the 19th century, there's work to do here and now.

Joined @LauralPorter for @KGWStraightTalk. The range of topics we covered — @multco's roles as safety net & public health leader, parenting, mental health & more — shows that #COVID19 affects every part of our lives. But together, we'll get through this. https://t.co/fH5649FFfs
"Mild" is a health descriptor applied to people other than ourselves. (See: concussions.) A thread to share with those who may think, meh, even if I got it...
