Amazing trip to Arkansas so far…went by a farmers market in Little Rock, antique shop in Sand Gap, a beautiful drive through the Ozarks & lunch at a restaurant in Springdale that looks suspiciously like ones back home. (Mexicans, we are everywhere!) Tonight, a concert in Rogers!

“What does offend me is people purposefully distorting Mrs. Browning’s words to mask their true intentions: undermining unions and dragging county government backwards.”

Thank you to the ⁦CPF⁩ for inviting me to address your convention. It’s always fantastic to be in a room full of heroes.

Happy Mother’s Day to my angel Mama. She taught me to work hard, fight for what’s right, and when folks knock you down… to get right back up. I miss her every single day. ❤️

We were proud to advocate to our State legislators as part of California Labor Federation Lobby Day in support of High Road Training Partnerships & we urge the legislature to preserve $45M for the HRTP program at California Workforce Development Board. Thx to the legislators & staff for your time & leadership!

Early morning flight BACK to Sacramento this morning because I value these scientists! Hope to see you there!

Day 2 of our California Labor Federation Political Team Road Trip took us to the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO & OC Labor Federation ! What a joy to hear from so many unions and our kick ass local Labor Feds! We are preparing for our 2024 labor to labor program!

Our California Labor Federation graduated another 40 organizers from our California Organizing Institute last weekend. We have set out to build an army of organizers in every industry & assist our unions in building capacity throughout the state. #UnionizeCalifornia

Although this headline suggests AI could triage patients, I think the real take away is that computers are only 89% as accurate as triage nurses. I will stick with the nurses, thank you. sfchronicle.com/health/article…

We took the show on the road & visited our union members in Kern County tonight! Great leadership!

Heat standards are a health issue! Now we need indoor heat standards. #SummerIsComing
