The status quo won’t save our kids’ lives. Action will.

Thrilled #AB1287 made it through Senate Judiciary, one step closer to ending the pink tax! Women are charged more and paid less. AB 1287 will end sexist pricing once and for all. Thank you to my joint-author @AsmGarcia and our partners in the @CaWomensCaucus and @CCSWG

While national news focuses on San Francisco, if you really want to know where California's headed - look at the East Bay. Home to nearly 3 million people (3x the size of SF), it's a window into the future of America's suburbs & non-superstar cities. And the future is bright. 🧵

A doctor AND sitting US Senator felt comfortable saying that maternal mortality rates were only bad "if you count Black women." Don't tell me there isn’t systemic racism in our health care system.

I believe that, in order to be safe, we need to be smart on crime. That’s one of the reasons the @EastBayTimes endorsed me: “Becton’s policy…is exactly the sort of smart change needed to stop clogging jails, & get people help.” READ and SHARE https://t.co/YsQAW1voFS

We need to repudiate in the strongest terms the politicians and media figures who — whether for political gain or to boost ratings — have used their platforms to promote and normalize “replacement theory” and other starkly racist, anti-Semitic, and nativist conspiracy theories.

#NEW: Federal prosecutors dropped more than a dozen cases involving officers from East Bay cities that are the subject of a widespread FBI probe into 'crimes of moral turpitude.' This includes people getting dismissals after pleading guilty:
