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.

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.

This week, I introduced the Crime Survivor Support and Stability Act. This legislation was developed in partnership with my colleague @repemiliasykes.bsky.social and incredible community partners like @only1tinisch.bsky.social with Californians for Safety and Justice.

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.

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.

I am so proud to have secured over $11 MILLION in Community Project Funding for 15 projects across the East Bay. Mayor Barbara Lee and Council members Janani Ramachandran and Kevin Jenkins joined me in my office in D.C. to celebrate the 3 projects that the City of Oakland received funding for.

Eid Mubarak East Bay! Mayor Lee and I are wishing you all a blessed and joyous Eid Al-Fitr with loved ones and family.

The last time the federal minimum wage was raised was 2009. For too long, our economy has relied on underpaying the very workers who keep this country running. That harm has fallen hardest on women, workers with disabilities, tipped workers, Black and brown workers, and working families.

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.

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!

Disability activist Alice Wong talked about cripping the world, or in her words, "to bend, compress, twist, subvert, imbue disabled wisdom into systems, institutions and cultures." Could we do it in the next hundred years, asks Laura Flanders in this week's closing commentary: bit.ly/4pxYUu2

Climate change is creating a hotter, more dangerous world. In Australia, heatwaves kill more people than all other climate-fuelled disasters combined. We must address the cause - climate pollution from burning coal, oil & gas - to keep us all safer from the impacts of our rapidly warming world.

I asked what the Govt's ambition is for access to NHS dentistry. Sadly, the Minister did not answer my question. Of course, we need dental contract reform & training places. But if we are serious about NHS dentistry being accessible to everyone, the Govt's ambition has got to be much greater.

The clear takeaway from today is that Donald Trump is not unstoppable and you are not powerless.
