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.

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!
Two incredible women, Mayor Lee and Councilwoman Ramachandran from CA-12 joined me to wish you a happy Women's History Month and to honor the women who came before us.
Eid Mubarak East Bay! Mayor Lee and I are wishing you all a blessed and joyous Eid Al-Fitr with loved ones and family.
It was wonderful to join Dr. Pineda & the Center for Independent Living in Berkeley to celebrate their 54th anniversary and be with so many leaders, activists, and mentors. The CIL's work and partnership has been invaluable for me as I continue the long fight for disability justice in Congress.
I am proud to announce that I secured over $1 million in Community Project Funding for the East Bay Regional Park District for water quality improvement! This funding is a part of the $11 million I secured for 15 different projects across our district.
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.
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.
My heart is with the families and loved ones of Amin, Mansour, Nadir and the entire San Diego Muslim community. May Allah grant peace to their souls. We must use this moment to find a new way forward. We all have a responsibility to call out the normalization of islamaphobic rhetoric.
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.

TikTok removed my last video and censored yesterday's. The topic was the Trump administration handing nearly two billion dollars of your tax money to fossil fuel companies as a written condition of killing American wind energy. Every single fact came directly from a federal government press release.
