Workers spent their morning harvesting strawberries in the rain near Moss Landing CA. When they got a late morning lunch break they had to eat their lunch in the rain as there was no dry place to eat. #WeFeedYou

Proud to be honored for having a 100% voting record with the California Labor Federation at tonight’s Labor Fed and State Building Trades Joint Legislative Conference.

A thread :
An ACLU public records request revealed that CDCR staff has actively question the immigration status of US Citizens and legal residents w/ ICE.
Grateful to the leadership of CCPOA for publicly denouncing this reprehensible & unjust practice.

How shameful to use violence against people exercising their right to protest.
To the Fairmont Miramar Hotel, we say this: your cowardly act of violence will not break our spirits! We stand stronger than ever, united in our demand for better working conditions, just treatment, and the fair workload. @UNITEHERE11
We support the 7th and K @Starbucks workers and their union! @SBWorkersUnited
Rescinding the award @Dodgers planned to give @LADragnuns due to out of state pressure is cowardly and does not reflect CA values of inclusion & the celebration of diversity. Nor does it accurately reflect the service & joy the Sisters have brought the LGBTQ community and LA.

Miguel Contreras would famously say “Labor Warriors” in his speeches to help people understand that we need more than allies in our movement, but true “Warriors for working families.” ✊ Join us on 5/5 as we honor his legacy by registering at the link: bit.ly/mcfawards2023 📲

Thank you! My CA Sen bill 731 is now law. Eventually most people with records will get relief and move on with their lives without barriers.
Brandon Tsay, the young man who wrestled a shooter at a dance class in Monterrey park, in January, was recognized on the Senate floor for his bravery and saving lives today. I’m truly honored and grateful to him.

After returning from Japan last Tuesday, I set off to Sacramento later that evening to represent the student body of @calstatela for #CSUAdvocacyDay. It was great meeting Assemblymembers @isaacgbryan , @asmmikefong and Senator @MariaEDurazo! #WeAreLA 🦅📚
