Few things are more un-American than banning books because they don’t conform to your personal worldview - it's good to see parents challenging schools that would do so https://t.co/672ZOxv8zC

One step closer to making rate reform happen in California! Today, SB 380 passed out of Senate Education Committee. The child care crisis is not a woman’s issue, it is an economic issue and I am grateful for all my colleagues who spoke in support. #CareCantWait

Libraries are essential!
This #NationalLibraryWeek, we recognize the essential services, resources & opportunities that public libraries provide. Nationwide, libraries are facing censorship & attacks--but we are protecting our libraries & supporting inclusive spaces for learning. https://t.co/RBw4MF7Ell
