It was good to see the city council run-off candidates @DrSukhD1, @RicForDistrict6, Kelly Ann Gonzalez, @ElectPaulaMcGee & @Gonzalezfor8 at the @copsmetro session giving their positions on issues. Hope to see them again supporting this historical event.

A terrific article on @copsmetro by @AlejaCorazonHM . Honored to be featured in it. The inspiring work of this 50 year old organization—which lastingly transformed faith-based organizing—is all the more important in our present political moment. religionnews.com/2025/01/13/…
