In the Senate, I co-chaired the California-Japan Legislative Forum to strengthen collaboration on key challenges we both face — from building robust education systems to supporting our communities. It was an honor to welcome Consul General Kosei Murota and his team to California!

For too long, educational opportunities for Indigenous students have been stifled by a legacy of discrimination.

Today and every day, we must reaffirm our commitment to righting those wrongs and ensuring every student has the chance to thrive.

How do we turn policy discussions and research into actionable solutions for students? 🗣️➡️📖

Too often, legislators get caught up in politics rather than doing the hard work of building, sustaining, and re-evaluating a lasting educational system.
