Don’t ever forget that music (& JOY) happens IN community - and community is where our power lies. When we organize community, we harness our power ✊💯🫶.

“Look for what you Love.” 💜

This is some of the best advice I’ve ever been given… in engaging with challenging people, In navigating difficult situations, in times of crisis.

Remembering to focus first on love changes everything.

Sending my prayers to our neighbors in Contra Costa County who are experiencing a shelter-in-place due to a refinery fire. These situations are so scary for everyone involved.

Ask your local City and County elected leaders how they are representing your values.

- a Legislative Platform?
- A Staff Attorney who monitor/files Amicus briefs?
- Resolutions that record positions on important issues?

What are your local electeds doing to lift up your values?

Our County Board adopted 2025 Legislative Platform today. We added a section that speaks to our values—> issues and policy that we unanimously support that might not be called out in other parts of our platform. Local government has an important role to play in communicating these priorities.

Taylor once said,
“Wise men once read fake news
And they believed it
Jackals raised their hackles
You couldn't conceive it
You were sleeping soundly
When they dragged you from your bed
And I tried to warn you about them”

My sister rescued this feral mama with her 4 babies and we’ve had the honor of fostering them while they grow big enough to get fixed and find forever homes. #LocalElected #LeadingWithLove #Swiftie #Mom #Ally

Monterey County SHOWED UP for the Peoples March! I reminded everyone that we do NOT have the luxury of feeling despair, we DO have a responsibility to use our privilege to protect our brothers and sisters across this nation - and we must get to work. #peoplesmarch #womensmarch
