California's workers are about to get more paid sick days!
With @SenGonzalez33’s bill, Californians won't have to choose between getting paid and taking care of themselves or a family member.
We're helping workers, reducing inequality, and supporting a California for all.
ALT Governor Newsom and Senator Lena Gonzalez (D-Long Beach)

We went to LA to ask people what they thought of California's #PaidSickDays.
It’s clear that three paid sick days is not enough. We need #SB616NOW @CaGovernor @GavinNewsom

I just BELTED out Mariah Carey's We Belong Together on the way to summer camp drop off. Baby boy was left speechless and baby girl said I was a very good singer. Today's going to be a good day.

...copying and pasting the generic "This is such a subjective industry and other agents may feel differently best of luck" reponse? What are you and your agencies actually doing to increase creators from these communities? #morningthoughts #WritingCommnunity #kidlit

We know that Black maternal mortality is not just a low-income problem. A focus only on resources for Medicaid populations is short sighted & dangerous. My two-cents over at @CNN
