Join me on Thursday, May 29, from 6–7 PM for a free webinar on the hidden dangers of plastic microbeads—those tiny particles in personal care products that threaten our health and environment.
As I work on legislation to ban microbeads in products in California, I want to empower you with the facts: what microbeads are, how to spot them, and how you can support safer alternatives.
Don't miss this chance to learn and take action! RSVP now for the Zoom link at https://bit.ly/PlasticMicrobeadsWebinar or call my District Office at (858) 481-7704.

California Reproductive Freedom for All
Thank you to California's Reproductive Freedom for All advocates for meeting with legislative offices and continuing the fight to protect reproductive justice.
At a time when women's rights and bodily autonomy are under attack across the country, I'm proud to stand with advocates who are making sure California remains a national leader in defending access, equity, and choice.
Fight for Firefighters' Retirement Security
A few weeks ago, I participated in Fire Ops 101 with California Professional Firefighters, a tiny glimpse into the training and dedication needed to do their work. Our firefighters work day in and day out to protect all of us, and we must offer support to our heroes.
I am proud to co-author AB 1383 to create a fair retirement structure that honors their service and sacrifice to their physical and mental health, for the protection they provide for their communities. It's the least we can do.
