Si te importa la democracia en Estados Unidos, te necesitamos. No importa dónde vivas, puedes ayudar haciendo llamadas a los votantes. Republicanos están robando asientos en Congreso. California puede equilibrar esto si los votantes deciden aprobar esta medida temporal para salvar la democracia.

“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces.

Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.”

Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris

Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.

Social Security supports millions of people across our state. Reports of disruptions to these benefits, directly caused by the Trump Administration’s reckless decision to fire employees with no regard for the consequences, are unacceptable.
