I was proud to join Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost, John Garamendi, Congressman Mike Lawler and union members to raise awareness and take action to phase out toxic bleed air systems with the Safe Air on Airplanes Act. This bill is life-saving and really protects workers. Let's get this passed.
Encouraging to see Congressman Robert Garcia's powerful letter to Secretary Antony Blinken urging Department of State to do more for LGBT+ people in Peru, including on Presidencia del Perú 🇵🇪's recent draconian decision to classify trans people as “mentally ill.”

Today, I joined Rep. Norma Torres and Vera Institute of Justice to fight for the Fairness to Freedom Act, which would provide universal representation for immigrants facing deportation. We can help fix our broken immigration system by giving immigrants across the country a fair chance.
Long Beach has a world-class, convenient, and award-winning airport. U.S. Department of Transportation and our airlines should think about Long Beach as they bid for new flights into Washington National Airport due to the passage of the bipartisan FAA bill. Long Beach Airport needs more cross-country flights.✈️
Our BUILD GREEN Infrastructure and Jobs Act under the Green New Deal is officially endorsed by Progressive Caucus. We know this bill is great for our environment and essential for creating new green jobs that will tackle the climate crisis. Let’s get this done!
Thank you President Biden for taking this important step in the right direction. Our cannabis laws have been severely outdated in this country, but the reclassification of marijuana continues our fight to modernize the system.
