Today is International Day of Action for #WomensHealth . I’ve fought for women’s health – from #abortion rights to access to breast & cervical cancer care – for my entire career, but we must keep fighting to protect #ReproductiveRights & expand healthcare access for all women.

The US government says #Americans should budget '7% of [their] income for #childcare costs,' instead 'they’re running 10% to 20%' 🚨😥
When the #economy softens, #Californians need California Governor and #CAleg to protect #childcare and #familysupportservices 👏

Asian women are significantly more likely than women overall to be mistaken for another colleague of the same race or ethnicity. When you hear this happen, correct the mistake: “You’re confusing [name] with [name]. They’re very different! You should get to know them.”⁠

Today and every day, we denounce all forms of homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia.

Attacks on #LGBTQ + rights are rising across the nation, but we will not waver in our fight for a world where our LGBTQ+ community can safely live and love the way they choose. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Care providers deserve high-quality careers and our children deserve high-quality care. Child care providers are the backbone of our society, and thriving wages will ensure they can pursue this career they love with families who depend on them. #DayWithoutChildcare #DWOCC24

It was a pleasure to be part of the panel of NAWBO California alongside Nancy Skinner to speak about California Legislative Women's Caucus' work and priorities!

'The #childcare industry in the U.S. is a behemoth ($60 billion), and it [is] getting crushed on both supply and demand' 😥👎
