Dr. Mae Jemison reached space because people believed it was possible. Same goes for every dream here at home. Still building. Won't stop. #ServiceContinues #ServantLeadership #StrongerTogether

Look at these young people and you see the future. #LookCloser and you see a community that invested $1.38M nine years ago so they could stay ahead. Proof it's always valued its children's education.

Look at this and you see a candidate forum. #LookCloser and you see democracy at work: the people organized and called on candidates to make their case. Join me at the CA Voices Town Hall & Ballot Forum. Register at INVLA.org or KBLA1580.com

Look at the Expo line and you see a train. #LookCloser and you see who built it. Sixteen years ago, my Motion passed, giving people along the line access to jobs on a $1.5B public investment. That's public dollars at work. #ServiceContinues #StrongerTogether

From 2015, still true today: supporting the arts — and the youth learning, creating, and performing within them — is a responsibility that never goes away. #ServiceContinues #ServantLeadership #StrongerTogether

Last week at ‘A Taste of Justice’ — grateful to be part of a community doing the work, one person and one conversation at a time. 🙏🏾#ServiceContinues #ServantLeadership #StrongerTogether

Today marks the 63rd anniversary of the March on Washington. I was young at the time, experiencing a family challenge. I couldn’t have fully understood the significance of that historic day. But in the years since, Dr. King’s words have helped carry me then, now, and in between.

Five years ago today, LAUSD honored my friend and mentor Rev. James Lawson, Jr. by naming a school after him. He taught nonviolence as the harder, stronger choice. I intend to keep his standard. Grateful to serve. #ServiceContinues #ServantLeadership

I’ve never stopped and will not stop working for the community’s whole health. #ServiceContinues #ServantLeadership #StrongerTogether

Happy birthday to my life partner. We celebrate her and 46 seven years of marriage. What we’ve built took a calling and commitment hopefully our union models that the things worth building are the things you build together. #HappyBirthday #AugustAnniversary #StrongerTogether.

The community deserves to hear from the folks who want our vote. Nonpartisan town hall — Oct 3. Candidates and measures, front and center. Best time to get informed was yesterday. Next best: Oct 3. #BeElectionReady #EducateEngageEmpower

Long before this moment, I was standing up and speaking out for the community. That hasn’t changed — and it won’t. #ServiceContinues #ServantLeadership #StrongerTogether

Some commitments don’t change — and never should. This summer, that meant showing up for our children at the Girl’s Club Freedom School. Investing in and supporting their education will always be priority. Grateful to serve.#ServiceContinues #ServantLeadership #StrongerTogether

This week’s decision does not define my service — my work does. My commitment to the community remains strong. We work together. We move forward together. #ServiceContinues #ServantLeadership #StrongerTogether

Reimagining isn’t new it’s what our ancestors did when freed—building from nothing. It’s what the empowerment Congress did in 1992— a community that showed up and held its leaders accountable. This is what reimagining looks like and we are not done. #Reimagining #INVLA

Educate. Engage. Empower. Three words I’ve carried for 30+ years with the Empowerment Congress - and the room always answers back. This is what reimagining sounds like - and we’re not done. Keep listening. #EducateEngageEmpower #Reimagining #INVLA #JuneteenthLegacyInspired

Last week I shared what non violence looks like: listening and dialogue. Well, this is what non violence does: it makes space for truth and opens the door for change. #daysofdialogue #nonviolence #servingtogether

Today marks the anniversary of the original verdict. This is a clear look at the timeline—from indictment to appeal. No commentary. Just the record. And as the process continues, so does the work we do. #ServiceContinues

Because leadership isn’t just taught…it’s cultivated, together. Standing with Chaka Khan and all who support and build the vision of educating our young people. #ServiceContinues #MRTArchives #ServingTogether

On this day in 2014 (12 years ago),
10,000 summer jobs were set in motion. The moment passed.
The commitment didn’t. Still showing up. Still doing the work. #MRTArchives #ServiceContinues
