    On the 19th of June, 1865 troops rode into Galveston to announce slavery had ended, more than 2 years after enslaved people of Texas had by law already been freed. Freedom here has never been given to us. It has been claimed, with every generation, by people who refused to wait…

    Communities in West Oakland have been dealing with the health impacts of environmental racism for decades. A coal terminal in their backyards and trains carrying coal along the Bay will only exacerbate an already deadly problem. I am using every tool available to me to stop this…

    Our West Oakland communities have been clear: no coal in Oakland. Today, I filed an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2027 Energy and Water Appropriations bill that would prohibit funding for the proposed Oakland coal export terminal project.

    The Trump administration is claiming fraud in California's elections with no evidence. While Trump points fingers at California, this president is redrawing maps to silence Black voters and take the House by force.

    During National Gun Violence Awareness Month we are saying loud and clear: it’s time to act. We must strengthen federal gun control regulations and invest in local violence intervention programs. Our communities deserve nothing less.
