Thank you to the students at Maybeck School for the warm welcome and the thoughtful questions. I’m always inspired by young people who care about their community and want to understand how they can make a difference. Grateful for the chance to share my story and hear yours!

It was a great joy to speak with students in the NAVCAL program at UC Berkeley!
NAVCAL is designed to support re-entry, transfer, first-generation, and historically underrepresented students. This program is invaluable to the community it serves.
Wishing all of the students great success at Cal!

I was proud to stand with AFSCME 3299 today at Cal!
AFSCME represents 40k service workers throughout the UC system. Their work is vital to UC's function and wellbeing, yet they have been without a contract for almost 2 years.
UC must act in good faith and work collectively to come to an agreement.
