There are so many layers to gun violence in America. During #GunViolenceAwarenessMonth, let’s renew our efforts to identify the root causes of gun violence, share what is working and work to build a society where gun deaths are not an everyday occurrence that threaten our families, communities and basic freedoms. @GvpSd4 @GIFFORDS_org @MomsDemand @Everytown @bradybuzz sandiegouniontribune.com/202…

Congrats to San Diego and CA’s own @MayorToddGloria being chosen to lead as President the @usmayors! This is a huge honor and responsibility for a deserving leader.
I’m honored to now serve as President of @usmayors. The first Mayor from San Diego and the first openly LGBTQ mayor to lead this national organization.  I'm using this platform to advance solutions that build more homes, keep neighborhoods safe, and expand opportunity.

Thank you @SDPsychSociety for inviting me to your annual installation ceremony and honoring me with an award for my work on mental health issues. This year I've authored two bills to expand access to CARE Court, SB 989 and 1016. Read more here. sd38.senate.ca.gov/news/sena…

Great to join @MomsDemand for today's #WearOrange rally at the state Capitol! As Co-Chair of the Legislature's Gun Violence Prevention Working Group, I know the importance of California's strong gun laws, which give us one the lowest gun death rates in the nation. During National Gun Violence Prevention Month, we remember and honor those we have lost to gun violence, and work to raise awareness about gun safety. #EndGunViolence #ProtectOurKids @MoniqueLimonCA @TimGraysonCA @SenSusanRubio @JesseArreguin @AsmStefani @AsmGailPellerin @AsmMikeGipson @BauerKahan

We’ve seen that CARE Court is effective but the data show that few people are getting to it or entering treatment, after being processed by the court. That's why I authored #SB989 and #SB1016. They help provide the access to mental health treatment that is needed by many to stabilize their lives and quit living on the streets and frequenting emergency rooms and local clinics. Glad that the Senate has approved both bills. @NAMICommunicate @CAFirefighters Read more. sd38.senate.ca.gov/news/sena…
