Assemblywoman Luz Rivas Isabella González Potter Ben Allen Thank you Chair Rivas for your work and your staff’s work to strengthen #SB54!

Public outcry is growing about unnecessary, polluting single-use plastics. But California has an opportunity to be a leader in tackling our global plastic waste crisis. Sign our petition urging the passage of #SB54 to dramatically reduce plastic waste: calpirg.webaction.org/p/dia/action4/…

“CA has a history of leading the US in bold environmental legislation, and what happens in CA can influence the nation and even the world. The state has the chance to do that now on one of the most pressing environmental issues facing our oceans today” sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/…

As a representative of some of the nation’s most iconic LGBTQ bars, I’m devastated to see the news from #ColoradoSprings. A sadly familiar feeling - another senseless tragedy, calls for gun reform, and federal inaction.

Sharing because everyone needs to see this. This is what happens when we demonize people for being who they are. The fucking murderer’s dad is glad his son isn’t gay. Got news for you jackass!

I appreciate this Evan! It hurt my heart to see their hate out there today. Then I saw the Pride flag waving and heard the chants of the folks down the street. Then my heart filled with gratitude. Thank you to those there today!
