Every day IS a good day for succession planning. Especially when you care to elect women! So few individuals (elected or not) or organizations have the bandwidth to make recruiting their sole focus, when they're working to solve the crises right in front of us. That's the beauty

Congratulations to Senator Monique Limón (CTG Class of 2016) on her election as the next Senate Pro Tem! She will be the first woman of color, Latina and mom to lead the chamber and preside over a historic, majority-women Senate.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And 750,000 SEIU workers are standing with him. https://t.co/WYzt2Bv38I

The @CAgovernor just proposed 1/2 BILLION in cuts to repro and will effectively defund Planned Parenthood in CA, the same morning Republicans debated defunding PP nationwide in Congress. Happy to go on his Podcast and explain why this devastates women’s health in his state.

Fun to be asked what people don't understand about @closethegapCA in this beautiful piece by @Capitol_Weekly - I suspect some folks still don't know what we actually DO. At its heart, recruiting is coalition-driven + "a strategic, years-long endeavor." Shout-out to Mom & Dad, to
Activism is something @SusDelano was exposed to from birth. “It’s kind of the family business in some ways,” she said. Now, she heads @closethegapCA, a statewide campaign to close the gender gap in the California Legislature by 2028. https://t.co/JcieyV3S9x
