As a mom, my heart breaks everyday when I hear about overdoses. Making naloxone accessible to ALL is critical to saving lives. #FentanylCrisis

Earlier this week, @LizForAssembly, in partnership w/
@CaliforniaLabor, introduced a bill that would establish Workplace Readiness Week during the 1st week of May to teach high schoolers about their labor rights. eastbayecho.com/2023/02/15/a… via @eastbayecho

CA should be taking proactive steps to educate young workers about their rights to a fair wage, safe workplace, and to join a union.
We’re excited to work with @AsmLizOrtega on #AB800 to create a “Workplace Readiness Week” for CA high schoolers to prep them for the workforce!
Interesting one — @LizForAssembly has a bill that would educate high school students about their workplace rights. Backed by none other than @LorenaSGonzalez.

Today, I introduced my first bill! AB 800: “Workplace Readiness Week” will empower California high schoolers to enter the workforce knowledgeable on their rights as working minors, and educate them on Labor history and its hard fought contributions to workers rights.

I rose today with a heavy heart to adjourn in the memory of Supervisor Richard Valle. This loss is felt across the East Bay. He gave a voice to those most vulnerable in our community and was a true public servant. Rest in power Supervisor Valle.

I’m incredibly saddened to hear of the passing of Supervisor Valle, a dedicated leader who could always be counted on to stand with the working people of Alameda County. His dedication to serving our community was inspiring and he will leave a lasting legacy. 1/2

I was honored to stand with @carroll_fife, @CatsCommentary and a few of the local and state leaders to speak out against the violent attacks against black and women of color. We will not be silenced.

Today, several of our members and @JenSiebelNewsom stood with @PPActionCA as we hold firm in our fight for #ReproductiveFreedom 50 years after #RoeVWade

A cornerstone of reproductive justice and care for nearly 50 years, Roe v. Wade created avenues of bodily freedom previously reserved only for those with means and privilege.
