Assemblymember Liz Ortega

Proud to stand with my Assembly colleagues in passing a 22-bill package to fight back against Trump’s war on immigrants. My bill AB 2465 says not one dime of California taxpayer money for the private companies who work with ICE to profit from detention centers that put children in cages.

May Day: a reminder that every right we have was fought for—and that work doesn’t stop until every person who works hard has a chance at a good life.

While UC executives get millions in housing assistance, 80% of their workers can’t afford to live near where they work. I am proud to stand with @afscme3299.bsky.social as they prepare to go on strike this May 14th—UC, pay your workers what they’ve earned.

It’s Workplace Readiness Week! My bill, AB 800, established this time to ensure students learn their workplace rights and safety protections before entering the workforce.

Thank you to everyone who joined our Earthquake Preparedness Workshop in Dublin! With several earthquakes rattling the East Bay in recent months, now is the time to get prepared. Stay ready and stay safe! Visit listoscalifornia.org for tips and resources.

Yesterday, #CALeg honored #WomensHistoryMonth by hosting our annual Women of the Year ceremony. I was so proud to recognize Rayna Lett of San Lorenzo, an amazing nonprofit leader who is dedicated to empowering youth and communities. Congratulations again! @cawomenscaucus.bsky.social
