I have never had a census box to check that represented my race & ethnicity. The US Census Bureau has again rejected inclusion of Armenians - more than 100 years after the first genocide of the 20th century. apnews.com/article/census…

The very first electric tugboat is now operating in San Diego! I was thrilled to represent CARB at the launch event with Port of San Diego San Diego County Air Pollution Control District EHC San Diego Council President Joe LaCava and many more. This is a huge step to reduce diesel, NOx & CO2 in EJ communities.

Yesterday, the #Logan team was in action!🔥 Maria & Roberto Corral, & EHC staff advocated for the #EnvironmentalJustice element at City Council. It was passed unanimously, and we eagerly await its implementation to uplift communities most affected by environmental injustice.

Transitioning to zero emission cars, trucks, harbor craft, forklifts and so much more is made easier by CARB & California Climate Investments - check it out!

Huge congratulations to EHC San Diego & all the community partners - this is a game changer for environmental justice!

Thanks to @SupNoraVargas for working to relieve the health effects of the air pollution from sewage infrastructure failures. Thanks to CARB for providing resources to help residents.

Californians living and working near ports and major roadways are grateful for Governor Gavin Newsom’s decision to #VetoAB637 #VetoAB1122 #VetoAB1296 & #VetoAB3179. Thank you for protecting our clean vehicle standards #ProtectCleanAir gov.ca.gov/2024/09/29/gov…

Thank you CAL FIRE/San Diego County Fire & San Diego Fire Dept for your quick response to today's fire. We appreciate you!

I voted no on the CARB #LCFS because: It does not reign in methane credits for mega dairies & it perpetuates an overreliance on biofuels. CA is leading the nation & I’m proud to be on the CARB team, but we could have done much better to protect impacted communities.

Good news: the #LCFS resolution has a mandate to regulate Livestock Methane – finally! But, the action was undermined by a last-minute change with a huge benefit to mega dairies. I trust that board members will ensure that rulemaking is fair, equitable and science-based.

Public health & environmental justice must be our north star. Los Angeles Times Op-ed by Dean Florez & Diane Takvorian: California just set rules that trade short-term climate gain for long-term health and safety latimes.com/opinion/story/…

EPA approval of waivers is a huge step to enable California to continue our leadership. California receives waivers to reduce pollution from passenger and heavy-duty vehicles content.govdelivery.com/accounts/CARB/…

Excited to represent CARB today to launch Mid-City GO an all electric Community Shuttle funded through the Clean Mobility Options Program. Congrats to City Heights CDC & North Park Main St for their work for transportation justice.

Today’s Clean Transportation Equity Incentives Symposium has been a huge success, join us virtually for the afternoon sessions on bridging mobility gaps, data collection, connecting transportation and mobility ecosystems, and barriers to e-bike adoption.

The US Senate's vote to revoke California's authority to transition to zero emission vehicles will damage health and cost lives across the state but particularly in those communities hardest hit by pollution.

CARB recently launched SEConnect–a fully microtransit service in southeastern San Diego–through our Clean Mobility Options Voucher Program offering residents clean, reliable transportation to expand access to community destinations and connect first- and last-mile transit gaps SANDAG Diane Takvorian

Don't be fooled by Trump's claim of peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan. It is evidence of genocide collaboration, defeat for Armenia and no justice for displaced Artsakh Armenians. From Gaza to Artsakh: Netanyahu, Aliyev and the machinery of genocide armenianweekly.com/2025/08/18/fro…

I was so humbled to be honored by Leadership Counsel. "Unapologetic Advocacy" puts community health and environmental justice first. Thank you!

Proud to vote for CARB tough new rules to curb potent methane pollution from landfills. We must prevent future disasters like Chiquita Canyon impacting Val Verde and Castaic. Thanks to CARB staff, Californians Against Waste Coalition for Clean Air Gina McCarthy Archived kqed.org/science/199935…

The latest Trump assault on our planet and our communities. Ignoring science and humanity.
