Met with lawmakers in Sacramento in support of four key climate bills: #SB1282, #SB913, #AB2184, and #AB2672. Asm. Arambula, Hoover, Hadwick, Patterson, thx for taking the time to learn about these bills which will accelerate climate action while making CA more affordable, resilient, & safe!
In spite of the downpour, it was a festive and well-attended community gathering at @mayoradenaishii.bsky.social’s Open Studio Reception at the Berkeley Art Center. The creativity and dedication of the local artists uplifted my spirits. So inspired by our beloved #berkeley community!
Excited to see the band back together again (and add some new bandmates), as we build upon the first victory of Berkeley vs. Big Soda (back in 2014!) and support our beloved school gardens and public health programs. Sign the petition!

Deliberately bombing civilian infrastructure is a war crime. Period. End of discussion.
As I kicked off the FIRST Robotics Competition East Bay regional event at BHS I couldn’t be more inspired by these students. The kids will be all right y’all!

Water is life. It was wonderful to reconnect with friends and colleagues from our Golden State over at the Water Education for Latino Leaders Conference. Si Se Puede! 💦
Got back home just in time to participate in the #berkeley #nokings ending in #downtown and then stopping by a dance party organized by a different contingent, also in #downtown! This is what democracy looks like! 👊

Excited to once again host @bioneers.org in my #downtown #berkeley district, along with badass climate leaders like @joshbecker.bsky.social and @mdeatrick.bsky.social. Look forward to running into more movers and shakers when I’m back on Saturday! 🌍
What an exciting occasion to join the newly merged #Berkeley #Albany Little League for its kickoff! Oh look who else is playing! Cal Band great! ⚾️
The Berkeley Symphony not only continues to bring joy to music lovers from far and wide but helps instill the love for music to young people that otherwise would not have access to it. It’s an honor to support this organization, and I’m grateful for all that its staff and volunteers do! 🎶
Congrats #berkeley on accomplishing a huge feat: completing daylighting of nearly 1700 curbs in Berkeley for enhanced traffic safety. Proud to be part of a council that’s united in support of a Berkeley we can all traverse safely, regardless of how we get to our destination.
I join my colleagues in standing with mental health professionals at Kaiser, just as one stood with me when I needed her most. As a Kaiser client, I call on management to come to the table in good faith. @nuhw.org

In #downtown #berkeley. While Chaharshanbeh Suri - the Persian festival of light, fire, and resilience - is traditionally a joyful celebration, this year it also serves as a moment to honor those lost, stand with those impacted, and reaffirm shared commitment to peace, human dignity, and hope.
