.'s NLRB just stuck it to working people (again). This CEO-loving crowd overturned an Obama-era ruling that protected workers. Time for CA to lead. Pass #AB5 to stop the Trump board's attacks on working people! news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-re #Dynamex

William Barr *literally* wrote & published a book called "The Case for More Incarceration" while leading the Department of Justice. Found a copy in a law library. It's real.
The fight for criminal justice reform has made so much progress – we can't let forces take us back.

Meet Nilda. She is who they want you to fear. A client of ours. Born in Honduras. Survivor of sex, domestic, & gang violence. Thought U.S. would protect her. Instead they stole her 2-year-old son & detained her. She’s so courageous to share her story.

Proud to have our legislators committing to fight for ending child poverty today at the #EndChildPoverty and Press Conference! We have to stay strong in this fight.

CA has the highest number of children living in poverty in the US. One key element of addressing this issue is giving all the children in CA a fair start and access to quality early childhood education. #ECEMatters

Publicly funded, developed, & owned low income housing is a crucial tool in ensuring people of all income levels can afford housing & in preventing homelessness. Article 34 is inherently racist & classist. It‘s a scar on our state’s Constitution & it needs to be repealed.

I’m joining to introduce a constitutional amendment to repeal Article 34 of CA Constitution, which bans cities from building “low rent housing” (but no other housing) unless approved by voters. It was adopted to keep out poor/non-white people. It needs to be repealed.

Trump slashed funding for open enrollment assistance, and it shows: health care enrollments have dropped by more than 20% in multiple states this year. Spread the word: you have until Jan. 15 to enroll in CA.
