I cast my vote at the Belle Cooledge Community Center, honoring the first woman to serve Sacramento as the mayor and her legacy of breaking barriers in our city. If elected, I would become the first Black woman to serve as Sacramento's Mayor, carrying this legacy forward. Join me in making history—vote for me, Dr. Flojaune Cofer, and don’t forget to vote #YesOnE to protect our libraries. Measure E is NOT a new tax, just an extension of our current library support. Without your vote, our libraries face reduced hours and closures. #MoreIsPossible #TeamFlo #Sacramento #YesOnE #PublicLibraries #SacramentoMayor #Mayor #FloForMayor #BelleCooledge #MayorCofer

As an employer of multiple caregivers to support me in my life, I know that care work IS REAL WORK. It's time for a National Domestic Worker Bill of Rights to demand dignity for workers. Please join me in signing our petition: secure.everyaction.com/eSqzZ… #CareCantWait

I am grateful for my caregivers who help me eat, get me in/out of bed and get me ready for school. @SupJaniceHahn @HildaSolis @HollyJMitchell @SheilaKuehl @kathrynbarger My workers help me show up for life's opportunity to thrive, not just survive. #Timefor20 #CareInPublic

In Home Supportive Services allows me to live independently and hold a job. My provider cleans, cooks, shops and many other things I physically can't do. #CareInPublic #CareCantWait @SheilaKuehl

Yes, @KumiROCKS! We're so glad you're receiving the care you deserve. And yes, care providers need a wage they can survive on! It's #Timefor20 #20CantWait

This morning's tweet was made possible by my #IHSS caregiver, who starts her day at 5 AM to get me showered, assist w/ toileting and prepare breakfast. She also has to manage care simultaneously for her own diabetic son, because #CareCantWait. It's #TimeFor20. #CareInPublic

This week is the #CareInPublic week of action. We're still fighting to raise wages for IHSS homecare providers in LA to $20/hr. Providers need higher wages, consumers need access to care. Can you join in by sharing a snapshot of your care story and urging LA's BOS to raise wages?

Thank you, @SFdirewolf for telling your story: "Four whole weeks [in the ICU]. I still felt vulnerable but I knew my sisters had my back. I decided to go home. Fuck capitalism. Fuck the medical industrial complex. Fuck ableism." ~Alice Wong disabilityvisibilityproject.…
