We are making progress, but we can’t stop now

Team,  Since the Supreme Court issued its ruling overturning federal protections for abortion and reproductive rights, we’ve been hard at work ensuring that safe, legal abortion remains the law of the land in California.  While Republican attorneys general attack the right to reproductive freedom …

The power of unions

Team,  When we fight for the right to organize, we’re fighting for fair wages. Safe working conditions. Equitable benefits. And so much more.  Labor Day is personal to me. My parents fought for those rights as part of the farmworkers’ movement. I’ve seen firsthand the fruits of the labor of my par…

It's 2022, but discrimination isn't over.

Team, It’s simple: No one should be discriminated against because of who they love.  But right now – even in 2022 – that’s still happening: A private Colorado-based company offering wedding website services is attempting to discriminate against LGBTQ+ couples by refusing them service, and violatin…
