Growing up in the San Fernando Valley, it was more common to wake up to unhealthy or hazardous air quality than it was to breathe clean air. For too many Californians today, that’s still a reality –– but it doesn't have to be. Republicans want to take us backward. We’re going

Couldn’t agree more. Using the National Guard this way is a completely inappropriate and misguided mission. The Trump Administration is just sowing more chaos and division in our communities.
