This is Los Angeles. We are a city of labor, of business, of faith. We are a city of believers. We are a city of dreamers. We will ALWAYS stand together.

It is not about what we can do next, it’s about what we need to do right now. That’s why I’m running to be California’s next Lt. Governor. Check out my interview on Inside California Politics.

Grateful to join other faith leaders speaking at the Moral March @UniteThePoor today. Instead of being a taboo topic in our politics, we must make combatting poverty the moral measurement of our politics so that all can thrive!

As we wait to see what the final #cabudget negotiations, a reminder that only roughly 1% of all initially budgeted state spending has gone toward #housing and #homelessness since 2018. Majority of which has been one-time funding. This is not how we ensure everyone has a home 🧵

And that's all she wrote! #SB567, the Homelessness Prevention Act, by @SenMariaEDurazo officially passes out of the #CALeg assembly 46-13! We can no longer let families get pushed out onto the streets, which is why passing SB567 is vital! #ProtectTenants #KeepFamiliesHoused

There are times in our lives where we are reminded how fragile life is, how quickly life can change. Praying for our Ohana in #MauiFires, for the people and sacred land, for our beloved #BanyanTree. Our children need us to act with urgency to stop the climate emergency
