Systemic change comes with breaking the status quo. @CAGovernor will you include the innovative and historic Health Equity and Racial Justice Fund in your #CABudget and lead California and the nation in grassroots, community led solutions to our most pressing issues?

Coalition to @CAGovernor at yesterday’s rally in LA: Status quo proven ineffective. Deep, unjust impacts of #pandemic revealed long standing health/social inequities. #HERJFund would finally invest in local solutions that promote #HealthEquity & #RacialJustice. @UPAS_org

For some families in Los Angeles, this school year has meant that they had to choose between paying for the internet or other basic household needs. Voters know we need #digitalequity now @latimes @howardblume @greatschoolsla

Voters also expressed concern about the digital divide and want the next mayor to tackle these problems, even though the office lacks direct authority.

There are no tenant protections currently in place against the Ellis Act, which is why we have seen Ellis evictions occurring even during the COVID eviction moratorium. Reform is needed to protect vulnerable tenants and our affordable housing stock. #PassAB854

Today, I sent a letter with signatures of 24 of my colleagues urging the @CAgovernor to commit funding for the CA Health Equity & Racial Justice Fund. Full pandemic recovery will require #CA to invest in community organizations to promote health and justice! ✊🏾

About 1 in 5 Angelenos (~2 million ppl) don’t have internet service at home, mostly bc they can’t afford it. Tell @californiapuc that they should focus on connecting middle-mile infrastructure investments to last-mile projects. cc @net4allnow

Breaking News! @CAgovernor signed my rural broadband legislation. SB 28 will ensure that vital infrastructure, owned & operated by media giants will not remain shrouded in mystery. It’s an important 1st step to ensure the digital connections to CA homes & businesses serve all.
