This is Los Angeles. We are a city of labor, of business, of faith. We are a city of believers. We are a city of dreamers. We will ALWAYS stand together.

“We have a choice today about what we put in our hands: do we put clothes on the backs of the naked, the needy, the migrants in our neighborhoods, or do we put weapons of war in our hands to spread fear and terror?” -Fr. Brendan Busse, Catholic priest & pastor of @DoloresMission

It is not about what we can do next, it’s about what we need to do right now. That’s why I’m running to be California’s next Lt. Governor. Check out my interview on Inside California Politics.

A great reason to find hope for the future of California and the cause of economic opportunity for all people 🙏🏽 michaeltubbsforca.com @MichaelDTubbs
Grateful to join other faith leaders speaking at the Moral March @UniteThePoor today. Instead of being a taboo topic in our politics, we must make combatting poverty the moral measurement of our politics so that all can thrive!
Blessed by the wisdom and inspiration provided by @Senlaphonza and Civil Rights Movement Foot Soldier JoAnne Bland at @PICOcalifornia staff retreat today. "What we need is more steady loving confrontation, disciplined organizing, and faith in a better tomorrow" 🙏🏽
Thank you to @Senlaphonza and JoAnne Bland for joining us on day 3 of our professional development week. It was such an honor to get to hear from these two strong and resilient women
As we wait to see what the final #cabudget negotiations, a reminder that only roughly 1% of all initially budgeted state spending has gone toward #housing and #homelessness since 2018. Majority of which has been one-time funding. This is not how we ensure everyone has a home 🧵
“If we ever learn to use the power of love, or the powers of love, because there are many, we would be astonished at ourselves and astonished about the type of world we can create.” - Rev. James Lawson, presente!
Our future begins with us, and a thriving Bay Area begins with home. 🏘️✨ #AffordableHousingMonth is here — and it's our time to think big and imagine a Bay Area where every person has a safe place to call home. Join us: beginswithhome.org/affordablehous…

And that's all she wrote! #SB567, the Homelessness Prevention Act, by @SenMariaEDurazo officially passes out of the #CALeg assembly 46-13! We can no longer let families get pushed out onto the streets, which is why passing SB567 is vital! #ProtectTenants #KeepFamiliesHoused
I think Maria Lanakila Catholic Church in Lahaina may have survived the fires... if so would be hard to not use the word miracle... satellite comparisons are attached. #MauiFires #Lahaina
There are times in our lives where we are reminded how fragile life is, how quickly life can change. Praying for our Ohana in #MauiFires, for the people and sacred land, for our beloved #BanyanTree. Our children need us to act with urgency to stop the climate emergency
