“Every regulation, every incentive, every program is ultimately about the air that my son & every child in CA will breathe as they grow up.”
At her confirmation hearing, Chair @lsanchez020 shared the personal commitment behind her work & why CA must keep fighting for cleaner air.
We will take the free inhalers, but we really prefer cleaner air so we don't need a damn inhaler.
We enjoyed a great day touring Gateway Park with @40AcreLeague.
It was exciting to see how closely our work aligns. We share a commitment to protecting California’s natural resources, addressing the environmental challenges facing diverse communities and creating opportunities for the next generation of environmental leaders.
Thank you to the 40 Acre Conservation League for welcoming us and sharing your vision. We’re excited to see what’s ahead!

We ask two questions because #MoreIsPossible
1) Is it good for the environment?
2) Is it good for Black people?
Dr. Flo asks both questions all the time
It’s official- we’re running! This campaign is about more than just winning an election. It’s about building a safer, more affordable, and more livable county together — and proving that #MoreIsPossible

The proposal would require replacement tires to be as energy-efficient as new care tires by 2031.
It passes our two question test:
1) Is it good for the #environment?
2) Is it good for Black people?
CA looks to take action toward a "low-resistance" tire rule to boost overall vehicle efficiency, lower harmful CO2 emissions, cut gas demand & improve air quality/environment. Indeed, "this is a tool that California has to cut costs and clean up the air.” lat.ms/4gpwl0Z
Honored to work with The Godfather of outdoor equity Mr Charles Thomas, the Executive Director of Outward Bound Adventures.
Appreciate @40AcreLeague building meaningful connections with Black led organizations and the environment.
And @caawef for sponsoring this work.
If you haven't been, this is the perfect time. The weather is nice and the price is right!
