Proud to stand alongside restaurant workers, Donavan McKinney, Rashida Tlaib, and Detroit leaders for a Server for an Hour!
From serving tables to listening to workers, one message was clear: every worker deserves a full living wage with tips on top.
One job should be enough ✊🏽

🚨 Oakland is one step closer to a $30 minimum wage!
After months of organizing by One Fair Wage, the Black Organizing Project, and community partners, a City Council committee voted 4–0 to advance the proposal.
Next stop: Full Council on Dec. 1.
One job should be enough.

Lake Tahoe's dazzling clarity is a reflection of the collective commitment we have with our state, local, federal & tribal partners to protect a cherished natural resource. We're continuing to reduce pollution so everyone can enjoy the magic of Tahoe.

Our Deputy Secretary of Intergovernmental Relations recently visited the Tijuana River Valley to tour infrastructure and talk to partners working to address cross-border pollution. Thank you to all the organizations involved with this project for your continued partnership.

The CA GOP should gain political courage & speak out against Trump #HR1 food cuts to #children #veterans & #fosteryouth and the inhumane conditions in which ICE under Trump & GOP Congress have forced immigrant neighbors to live in fear. No CaGov should work w/ them until they do.
I asked incoming state Senate Minority Leader @RogerNiello @SenRogerNiello (R-Fair Oaks) about his message to the next California governor - either @XavierBecerra (D-CA) or @SteveHiltonx (R-CA).
“Work with us,” said Niello. “Work with the legislature with both parties…Whether it’s Mr. Hilton or Mr. Becerra — either way I can work with either one of them and I look forward to it.”
Niello added he’s confident @CAGOP will pick up seats in the legislature in 2026 and 2028.

This week, the CA State Senate recognized California’s Tribal leaders for their exemplary work and public service. The histories, cultures, and governments of California Tribal Nations remain an integral part of our identity. Thank you for your leadership and public service!

I'm calling on lenders to quickly and fairly release insurance proceeds for homeowners impacted by the LA firestorms.
Companies that unlawfully delay or deny access to insurance funds will be subject to state enforcement.
Survivors need relief now.

I’m so proud that California’s nation-leading Farm to School Program has now been signed into state law, with funding extended to continue this work!
Since 2019, California Farm to School has reached nearly 3 million students, expanding access to fresh, locally sourced, organic, and increasingly regenerative meals while supporting farmers and strengthening communities across the state.

Great to attend the African-American Leaders of Tomorrow college prep program put on by the CA Legislative Black Caucus! Every year we raise $1 million for scholarships and educational purposes. So many bright students in the room preparing to do great things!
