Without the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) in the U.S. Constitution, women’s equality still is not explicitly guaranteed under U.S. law. 

Step one of saving democracy remains to put half of America's citizens explicitly into the Constitution.

Come chat with me and some incredible women leaders today! Today is CPS HR Consulting’s Women’s Leadership Panel, which I’m on. I’ve been told that the vibe is sharing wisdom and advice - so you know I have a story or two to share lol. Please join us!

I am proud to support @habitatforhumanity.bsky.social and the incredible work they do for women and families. This is me on speaking to a group of single moms who were literally building the first homes any of them or their kids will own. They aren’t criminals - they are our community.

Spent the day supporting the @SacLGBTCenter at Mamas Makin Bacon because now more than ever is the time to double down on community. We are not backing down from this fight. And we look good doing it. 💋💕

Excellent reminder that mass outcry is a successful tool for beating back fascism. Get loud. Stay loud.

Binge watching Umbrella Academy from the Christmas nest we built in the living room that I’m not leaving for another four days.

Conclusion: Not enough of adult life involves living room fort building.

By some incredible stroke of full circle fate my bougie advent boxes delivered me a candle that smells like rich New York (can’t explain), a gorgeous ring, & a perfume that I have literally been looking for since the ninth grade (I’m 43) when a girl who wore it kissed me.

Buy the fancy thing.

What an incredible day! Today I was profoundly honored to be officially sworn in as the Executive Director of the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls by Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis.

I teared up a little I’ll admit - it’s a true honor to do this work.

Last one of these for the next four years I guess. Love that Willow signs them 🐾

Absolutely love that this is the picture my phone dug out of the archives today (with @raquelwillis.com and @jasperjames007.bsky.social) Thinking of all of my community & friends today fighting for our collective rights to be free and to live authentically in safety and in a world of opportunity. ❤️

I was honored to stand behind CA AG Bonta and and alongside reproductive advocates and elected leaders, representing the CA Commission on the Status of Women and Girls today as the CADOJ announced two new bills to protect reproductive rights. #bansoffourbodies

Starting the day with a long awaited toast to parity with Close the Gap, the CA Women’s Legislative Caucus, Planned Parenthood, CA Women Lead and a room full of powerhouse elected and formerly elected female leaders. What an incredible way to wake up in California today!

Kicking off the first week and special session with welcome parties and new and old friends. Congratulations to Assemblymember-elect Jessica Caloza - looking forward to working with such an incredible advocate and to a great session with so many powerhouse female leaders!
