Congresswoman Lateefah Simon
@replsimon
The health of our communities is directly linked to our environments, which is why I am so proud to present over $1 million dollars in federal Community Project Funding to the City of San Leandro for clean water infrastructure and new recreation opportunities for local residents.

Thank you to everyone who came out to my town hall with @mayoradenaishii.bsky.social and shared your concerns and priorities. Your voices and stories are the very center and focus of my work here and in Washington.
I announced $1 MILLION in federal Community Project Funding for a new Pediatric Blood Disorder Research Center at @ucsfchildrens.bsky.social. In 2014, I lost my husband to a rare blood cancer called T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia. A clinical trial gave our family two more years together.
Nothing is more important than the health and safety of those who call CA-12 home. That is why I’m thrilled to announce half a million dollars for the Cities of Berkeley and Albany that will go towards a new regional fire training facility in the East Bay!
Happy Small Business Week, Oakland! More than 85% of all businesses are small businesses in the Town. Small businesses are not the exception - they *are* our economy. I was honored to join Mayor Lee & the City of Oakland's Economic and Workforce Development Department to celebrate small businesses.
It is my absolute pleasure to introduce you to Adan, our CA-12 App Challenge winner from Oakland! He gave me a demo of his winning app called "StayReady" and told me a bit about the process of building an app. Adan, I cannot wait to see all that you do, you have a bright future ahead of you!
Building communities where our babies, elders, families are safe is a top priority. That starts with resources, which is why I am so proud to present over $1 million in federal Community Project Funding to the City of Oakland's Department of Violence Prevention for Operation Ceasefire-Lifeline.
As the first congenitally blind member of Congress, bringing disabled voices to the policy making table is extremely important to me. Last week, I hosted a roundtable at the Center for Independent Living in Berkeley to hear from and strategize with disability leaders on the most pressing issues.
I opposed to a bill that directly targets churches, charities, and nonprofits that provide bail support to families navigating a deeply unequal justice system. Bail support was a cornerstone of the civil rights movement, allowing people to protest unjust laws without fear they'd be locked away.
Ever wonder what your congresswoman does in a day? Spend a day with me in Washington, D.C. introducing legislation to protect workers and minority-owned small businesses, meeting with stakeholders, and attending a joint-session of Congress!
Republicans claim to care about fraud, and then elect and capitulate to a felon. If we want real investigations into fraud in this country we need to start by retaining prosecutors, and then we need to take a good hard look at Donald Trump and his Administration.
I don’t even know what to say. I am throwing away the Bingo card 😩

Open Source, Not Corporate AI! AI should belong to everyone—or to a select few! 🤖 Open technology = Innovation for all. ❌ Closed systems = Control by a handful of corporations. Europe must decide now: Do we create or just consume? Wake up, Europe! The future won’t wait! #AI #Art #NFT #AIForGood
Businesses small and large need predictability to succeed. Donald Trump's chaos and recklessness make that impossible.
with insanity all around us, i find it difficult but necessary to speak of it. i could speak for hours on all of the specific evils, but i find it important to talk about the common roots. those roots must be pulled, and together we can plant new fields. #pottery #society #community #future #peace

GenSqueeze's Paul Kershaw tells the hard truth about Canada's housing crisis: "To restore affordability for all, we need home prices to minimally stall or fall, so that earnings have a chance to catch up... 70% of Canadians support this." It's time to tax land, not paycheques.

When is enough enough? Trump now plans on upstaging the Lincoln Memorial with a "Trump promenade". MAGA are sitting watching this destruction because it "owns the libs" but no, it doesn't just "own the libs", it destroys US history. Cultural and historic vandalism.
