This week, I met with Supervisor Ellenberg from Santa Clara County and @CSAC_Counties leaders to discuss the Republican Big Ugly Law’s impact on localities & counties. I strongly opposed the record cuts to Medicaid & SNAP, and I’m fighting to undo the damage this bill has caused.

My district rep Estefany Meza joined the @JointVentureSVN on the urgent need for collaborative action in solving the childcare crisis. Thank you @SupEllenberg for advocating for universal childcare. I’m proud we are taking on the challenge.

How do you engage youth with #LocalGovernment? THIS is how you do it. "We give a voice to 400,000 youth in the county. Our goal is not only to educate but also to be educated." Way to go, @SCCgov! #CACounties

A great morning indeed at our inaugural debrief and roundtable for guaranteed income. Proud to be a founding member of this effort with @HennepinD2 & @MarionGreene and colleagues from all over the country.

As we round out the last few days of November and Transgender Awareness Month, I wanted to make this month's blog post a reminder of the importance that Gender Affirming Care holds for so many individuals in our community.

Thanks @USICHgov & @SupEllenberg for highlighting our Prevention System as a key way to reduce the inflow into homelessness in communities. Grateful to @LEOatND for their research and validation of our local efforts that can hopefully serve as an example for other jurisdictions.

“Keeping people in their homes and out of eviction courts and shelters and off of streets requires the collective power of state, local and federal policymakers as well as the faith community, the business sector and philanthropy.” @SupEllenberg @jeffolivet

Now more than ever, we must emphasize the importance of separating people from governments.
Antisemitism is disgusting and unacceptable. We have a responsibility to defend our Jewish brothers, sisters, and siblings from hatred. No movement of integrity should tolerate it. Ever.
Susan Ellenberg retweeted
Jews & Muslims are bracing themselves as hate crimes increase in the U.S. due to violence in Israel & Palestine.
As Jewish & Muslim women from right-wing hometowns, @nadiarahmansf & I know this pattern too well.
We cannot allow SF to devolve into hateful rhetoric & violence.
