Joined the @Greenlining Academy Alumni Association reunion and witnessed the camaraderie and power of its network. While the issues our communities face may be daunting, these 1,000+ professionals who are dedicated to solving today's biggest challenges give me so much hope.

The Administration's efforts to undermine our institutions continues with the ongoing persecution of Dr. Lisa Cook, the first Black woman to serve on the Fed Reserve Board. They'd help the economy more by addressing racial inequities in mortgage access than continue targeting her
Breaking News: The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow the president to remove Lisa Cook as a Federal Reserve governor, setting up a key test of presidential power with potentially huge economic consequences.

Thank you @MichaelDTubbs! 🙏🏾 I feel equally lucky to be joining the incredible team of community and racial justice champions at @Greenlining.
Max was my senior policy advisor when I was Mayor and a true asset. @Greenlining and all of us are incredibly lucky to have him in this position at this time. Congrats Max!

It's been a privilege to work alongside @JMGarcel and witness her vision & corazón in action. @LatinoCommFdn has deepened its impact thanks to her relentless, unapologetic spirit. Wherever that spirit takes her next, I know I and so many in our communities are forever grateful.❤️
Today, LCF announced our CEO @JMGarcel will step down & support a smooth & thoughtful transition. Over the last 7 years, we became a force elevating community leaders & investing in Latino communities. This will be a new season of growth & impact!

Latinapreneurs in California own and run over 21,000 businesses in CA (we are home to 24% of all Latina-owned businesses in the country). The 4th largest economy in the world runs on the work, drive, and innovation of women - Latinas can not be left out! #WomenAreEssential
Latinapreneurs launch businesses at 6 times the national average. CA has the opportunity to invest in Latinapreneurs and their potential. Read @Max_Vargas & @vvences2 blog on LCF’s collaboration w/ @CCSWG & @StanfordGSB Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative. https://t.co/cqMZMp4zS3

Why settle for an economic recovery when we deserve a renaissance? Bet on and invest in Latinas and their entrepreneurial drive.
"Latinapreneurs aren’t just the backbone of CA’s economy, they're our best bet at an economic renaissance." More from our Economic Justice team @Max_Vargas @vvences2 on @StanfordGSB Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative's latest report: https://t.co/cqMZMp4zS3
