#DisabilityPrideMonth in July honors the feats and experiences of our friends, neighbors and loved ones with disabilities. This year, we celebrate 34 years since the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law, closer towards a #CaliforniaForAll. tinyurl.com/4cestjtb

Everyone deserves the chance to live happy, healthy and safe lives under their own roof. To reach a #CaliforniaForAll, we must be more compassionate and empathetic, because we never know the full story and the struggles what someone experiencing homelessness is going through.

Reverend James Lawson, a lion among lions, remains a major influence on my thinking and social justice consciousness. Our nation’s Civil Rights Movement and current-day activism for social and racial justice are guided and inspired by his teachings. calendow.org/bobs-blog-the-…

ALL Californians deserve #CleanWater for drinking. The estimated cost to bring safe tap water to hundreds of communities over the next five years is more than $11.5 billion. No one should be exempt. #healthequity tinyurl.com/3eetmw9r

Every year, the rising heat fosters more intense fires that are getting harder to contain. Breathing in wildfire smoke can cause problems such as bronchitis, aggravated asthma, heart attack and stroke. These are clear signs of the impact of #climatechange, and we have to act NOW.

Low-income communities, older adults and outdoor workers are disproportionately harmed by extreme heat. We need to make sure all of us are protected from this extreme heat. #healthequity insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/1…

About 11.7% of Californians have disabilities. Poverty disproportionately affects individuals with disabilities. Understanding community needs is key to remove bias and to improve accessibility for everyone. #DisabilityPrideMonth #CaliforniaForAll thedesertreview.com/news/state/the…

Love is inclusive. Love is nondiscriminatory. Love is the path forward towards achieving a #CaliforniaForAll for all of us. Love means supporting our friends, family and neighbors with disabilities every day. #DisabilityPrideMonth.

About 1 in 5 people in California, mostly from underserved communities, don't have bank accounts and rely heavily on cash. But many businesses are starting to go cashless. To reach a #CaliforniaForAll, we must ensure California is affordable for all. calmatters.org/commentary/202…

August is #NationalWellnessMonth. With COVID-19 cases again on the rise, I hope everyone stays safe and healthy. Practice hygiene habits such as washing your hands for at least 20 seconds, and covering yourself when sneezing or coughing. #StayHealthy pressdemocrat.com/article/news/c…

According to a federal investigation, students, students' families and whole communities have suffered disruptive impacts from the boarding school system for more than 200 years. Apologizing is not enough. Providing actionable paths to recovery is a start. desertsun.com/story/news/nat…

#ExtremeHeat is a growing health hazard for everyone. For our those without a roof over their heads, it can be deadly, especially for those with pre-existing health conditions. We have to work harder to make everyone is protected from the heat. laist.com/news/health/ho…

Diabetes affects everyone regardless of gender, race, religion, income, ethnicity, status or occupation. So, there should be no excuse why some patients diagnosed with diabetes have access to health resources, while others have limited to no access. This must change!

A new, sobering study reveals that 17 types of cancer are becoming more commonly diagnosed in younger generations. We need to work harder to ensure our children and future generations are healthy and have access to resources to live a #healthylife. healthline.com/health-news/ge…

People who live in the Coachella Valley, especially those from low-income and Latino communities, breathe unhealthy amounts of a pollutant called PM10, particles of dust small enough to inhale. No one should have to live in areas with harmful air quality. calmatters.org/environment/20…

35% of California's school districts are considered rural, and their students lag behind peers from urban and suburban school districts. There is no reason for why students from one zip code need to trek long distances to access educational resources. calmatters.org/education/k-12…
