“Arresting and eventually releasing unhoused individuals without addressing the root causes is a short-sighted approach that merely moves the problem from one area of the county to another, perpetuating a cycle with no long-term resolution in sight,” Thank you @OCSupSarmiento 👏🏾

What Gov. Gavin Newsom’s executive order could mean for encampments in Orange County

The governor’s executive order follows a Supreme Court decision released last month that supports the right of local leaders to enforce anti-camping laws.

Feeling proud of what we accomplished this weekend at #PoderFest! All 28 of our arts grantees came together in Los Ángeles to celebrate the inspiring work they led over the past year via #PoderArte, LCF’s initiative dedicated to funding arts orgs that promote civic engagement.

According to @TheSantanero, residents were left stranded and unable to attend mass in the rain because OCTA closed dozens of stops ahead of SAPD's enforcement event. Our city would rather waste taxpayer money to criminalize cruising than let residents celebrate their Easter. – at Costa Mesa, CA

Welcome to vibes-based government, where you can't let facts get in the way of a good ol' fashion crime hysteria. hellgatenyc.com/hochul-natio…

Hochul Is Sending the National Guard Into the Subway to Search Your Bag Because of Vibes - Hell Gate

Why bag searches? Hochul explained that the goal was to create a "psychological effect on would-be wrongdoers."

We have had our eyes on Gaza for nearly 200 days and there is yet to be a ceasefire. The death toll is 30K and after the recent #FlourMassacre, we are AGAIN demanding a ceasefire. Please sign the petition in support and call your representatives TODAY: uwunited.com/ceasefire

Tell Your Member of Congress: Demand A Ceasefire Now!

Send an email to your member of Congress to urge them to demand an immediate ceasefire in Occupied Palestine and Israel, and a safe pathway for humanitarian aid assistance to Gaza: https://act.work...

At yesterday’s Santa Ana police oversight commission, James R. Touchstone trained the commission and disputed the “necessary” standard for deadly force that officers must follow. After being questioned, he asserts there isn’t a distinction btwn the reasonable & necessary standard – at Costa Mesa, CA

San Francisco Board of Sup's just passed a ceasefire resolution 8-3. This was always a no-brainer. 30,000 Palestinians dead or trapped under rubble. 1,000 children have undergone surgery without anesthesia. Today in San Francisco we proudly support peace.

Proud to be part of Team JLO! @VoteJessieLopez was one of the few elected’s who supported my assembly race in 2022. Despite the loss, I gained valuable skills like fundraising, that I now share with others including Jessie, to help combat special interest in our City.
