As a transit rider, I joined my colleagues and transit advocates in calling for the preservation of hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for transit programs that is at risk of being lost. Public transit is essential for our state's economy and addressing climate change. 🚆 🚍️

Cleaner energy, lower utility bills. That’s what green energy programs are doing while incentivizing the installation of renewable energy projects. In East Oakland, a partnership between Ava Energy and @Prologis is generating 7.3 megawatts of clean, locally produced energy.

June is #MensHealthMonth. Too many men are ignoring their physical and mental health, resulting in lower life expectancies and higher levels of loneliness. Routine checkups and not being afraid to ask for help can improve wellbeing and quality of life.

I will not stand by and watch hundreds of thousands of hardworking Californians lose their CalFresh coverage. I have been leading efforts to protect and fund our CalFresh program to ensure that no one goes hungry. youtu.be/u0OCjgzFf_c

It's common sense that if you own a firearm, you should know how to properly use it. My SB 948 just passed the Senate, which will prevent gun deaths by requiring a basic training course and holds people who move to the state to the same standards as existing firearm owners.

Healthcare is one of the fastest growing industries in the East Bay. My team toured the recently opened Samuel Merritt University's state-of-the-art campus in downtown Oakland, which is helping train the next generation of healthcare workers while revitalizing the downtown area.

It was great to speak with @CalTransit to talk about the need to support our transit systems that our commuters rely on. For every $1 invested in transit, $4.30 is generated in economic activity. I'm continuing to fight to fund safe and reliable transit.

Congrats to the Native American Health Center on the opening of Flicker in Oakland's Fruitvale district. The development provides 76 units of affordable housing and dental/health facilities, while incorporating Native American culture and identity into its architecture.

On #HarveyMilkDay we honor the legacy of a trailblazer who, as one of the first openly gay elected officials in the nation, used his voice to demand equality, visibility, and dignity. His courage to run, organize, and speak against injustice remains an inspiration.
