As Thanksgiving approaches, it’s important to remember that many families in our community are facing food insecurity.
In California, more than 1 in 5 households struggle to afford enough food: rising to 27% for families with children.

Honored to celebrate with this incredible group of leaders last week at Emerge California’s “Women Leading the Way” event. Standing alongside Malia Cohen, Betty Yee, Rhodesia Ransom, and Mia Bonta reminded me how far we’ve come, and how important it is to keep fighting for equal representation.
