I’m proud to stand with the 31,000 UNAC/UHCP members set to strike at Kaiser Permanente across the state!

1/4 Californians get their healthcare from Kaiser, and these workers who are the backbone of our healthcare system deserve livable wages, safe staffing, and retirement security.

Democrats in Congress—hold the line!

Americans want you to stay strong and fight to protect their healthcare.

If Republicans force a shutdown, it’s on them.

Too many Democrats talk a big game about single payer healthcare — and where do things stand? Just more talk.

As Governor, I wont talk — I’ll act.

We need innovative solutions if we’re going to solve California’s housing crisis. That’s why I’m proud of my plan to to build up to 2 million housing units on surplus school land! Check it out:

To my fellow candidates for Governor—join me in a series of 8 debates covering the wide variety of issues facing Californians, every month from now until the primary. Don’t voters deserve it?

No child should be afraid to go to school. AB 49 and SB 98 will protect California students and families from unlawful ICE abuse. As Governor, I will always stand up for immigrant families who just want the chance to work, pay taxes, & safely attend school.

Very proud to speak at yesterday’s signing of two critical bills I sponsored to protect immigrant families like the one I grew up in. AB 49 keeps ICE off school campuses and SB 98 ensures families get notified by school districts when ICE is nearby.

Proud to celebrate American workers and organized labor at the 46th Annual LA/LB Harbor Labor Day Parade!

Today we honor the workers and unions who fought for the fair wages, safe workplaces, and 5 day work week many take for granted.

Thrilled to welcome so many friends and supporters to my birthday party last night in Richmond, including Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee, State Controller Malia Cohen, and Contra Costa Supervisor John Gioia!

Should America even have billionaires at a time when so many are struggling to get by?

Hear me out - then comment below:

We’ve seen this already in L.A.— Trump’s D.C. takeover isn’t about safety, it’s a bunch of photo opps to make him feel tough

Thrilled to join LA Unified Supt. Carvalho at today’s LAUSD #firstdayofschool to welcome our students, parents, educators and school staff back to school! I’ll always fight to ensure CA schools are a safe place to learn for every student.

Trump’s rogue ICE agents continue to have no limits, this time detaining a 15 year old disabled boy at school in LA.

It’s disgusting, but we all have rights and can’t live in fear. Check out chirla.org/myrights for more information

We need to fight fire with fire. If radical Texas Republicans are going to redraw their Congressional maps mid-decade to rig the next election, California can do the same.

Trump’s unnecessary military deployment & mass ICE raids in LA are reckless & cruel. Marines in our streets. Schools locked down. Kids arrested.

As State Superintendent, I'm protecting our students. As Governor, I’ll defend CA families and our values. www.yahoo.com/news/califor...
California education head sends message to President Trump as immigration raids continue

Today’s raids showed cruelty, a lack of human empathy, and disregard for the physical safety of citizens and noncitizens alike.

These actions don’t make us safer—they spread fear and tear families apart. California won’t be silent. We fight for justice, compassion, and dignity.

Let’s be clear- arresting somebody for peaceful protest is what petty tinpot dictators do, it’s not something that happens in a democracy. David Huerta and anybody else who was arrested for peacefully protesting should be released immediately.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.

ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.

SEIU California | SEIU California President David Huerta Injured, Detained at ICE Raid in Los Angeles
We are proud of President Huerta’s righteous participation as a community observer, in keeping with his long history of advocating for immigrant workers and with the highest values of our movement…

Education is under attack—because it’s the backbone of our democracy.

They want to dismantle public schools because they know education is the great equalizer.

I know what education can do—it changed my life.
As Governor, I’ll defend it with everything I’ve got.

I see what’s happening in Altadena—and it’s shameful.
Disaster shouldn’t be a business opportunity.

As Governor, I’ll pass laws to stop this kind of exploitation and support Californians trying to rebuild.
'Unfortunately, Altadena is for sale': Developers are buying up burned lots
Developers are buying up Altadena's burned lots. It's a doom or boon for the community, depending on whom you ask.

Back from @CA_Dem convention. Shoutout to the workers & organizers making it happen. Solving CA’s fights—schools, housing, climate—demands all voices.

Why it hits home? This gov cheese kid knows: When gov works for people, lives change. Let’s build that CA. #TeamTony #CAStrong
