Proud to share #AB1609 passed Assembly Privacy & Consumer Protection today.
This bill ensures Californians can reach a real person for customer service—ending chatbot loops and long hold times, and requiring transparency when AI is used.
Grateful to CWA District 9 for their partnership.

Proud to be a coauthor of #AB1900 by @ashkalra.bsky.social to establish #CalCare, a single-payer health system in CA.
Health care is a human right. This bill moves us closer to a system where every Californian can access the care they need—regardless of income, job, or background.
A green-and-gold graphic shows Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur standing in front of the California State Capitol. Large text reads, “Zbur Bill Passes Assembly Committee on Human Services.” The graphic highlights AB 1967, described as strengthening protections for youth in foster care by requiring timely action when a youth self-petitions for protection and preserving access to extended foster care for young adults. At the bottom, it identifies him as Democratic Caucus Chair and Assemblymember for District 51.
#AB1967 passed the Assembly Human Services Committee today.
This bill strengthens protections for youth in foster care—including those experiencing homelessness, neglect or abuse—so they can get the help they need.
We have a responsibility to make sure the system works for them, not against them.

On #YomHaShoah, we remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust & millions of others targeted because of who they were.
We honor those who suffered & those who showed courage in the face of evil.
As antisemitism & hate rise, we must ensure this never happens again. #NeverAgain

Dolores Huerta, wearing a bright blue blazer over a floral blouse, stands smiling beside Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur, who is wearing a dark blue suit and a plaid tie. They are indoors, posing together in front of a partially obscured framed painting on the wall.
Happy Birthday to Dolores Huerta!
A trailblazer and lifelong champion for workers’ rights, she can still be found walking the halls of the Capitol advocating for workers & so many others.
Her strength & resilience continue to inspire the fight for dignity and justice.

Graphic reading “LGBTQ Day of Silence,” with “LGBTQ” in rainbow colors above the words “Day of Silence,” where “Silence” is crossed out with a red brushstroke on a dark background.
On the #DayofSilence, we stand with LGBTQ+ students raising awareness about bullying and discrimination.
Silence can be powerful—but no one should feel silenced for who they are. I was proud to author AB 5, the Safe & Supportive Schools Act—now law—to help ensure safe & affirming schools for all.
Graphic announcing Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur’s bill AB 2417 passed the Assembly Committee on Public Employment and Retirement Systems. The image shows Zbur in front of the California State Capitol with text explaining the bill requires Social Security to be offered as a retirement option and provides clear information to help community college faculty, including part-time educators, make informed decisions about their retirement plans.
Too many part-time faculty are left without clear or comprehensive retirement options.
#AB2417 helps close that gap by making sure educators get the retirement information they need to plan for their future.
TY @cftunion.bsky.social for sponsoring this important bill!
Graphic announcing that Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur’s bill AB 1930 passed the Assembly Judiciary Committee.

#HappyEaster to all who are celebrating.
This season of new beginnings and renewed hope reminds us that even in the face of hardship—life, light, and possibility endure. Let us continue to support each other, and be a light for one another in difficult times.
Today we remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose life was taken far too soon—but whose vision continues to guide us.
In moments of challenge, his words still ring true: “We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.”

Today, we honor the farmworkers who feed our communities and sustain our economy.
Their labor is essential, their contributions too often overlooked.

Blue graphic highlighting Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur’s Statement to U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Chiles v. Salazar with the Assemblymember’s logo at the bottom. Reads: “I am deeply disturbed and disappointed by today’s Supreme Court decision that weakens critical protections for LGBTQ+ youth and opens the door to harmful and discredited practices. By striking down Colorado’s law prohibiting conversion therapy for minors on free speech grounds, the Court has prioritized a sweeping and overbroad interpretation of speech over the health and safety of young people. Conversion therapy is not care. It has been rejected by every major medical and mental health organization and is known to cause lasting trauma, including increased rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide among LGBTQ+ youth. These laws exist because states have a responsibility to protect patients from dangerous and unethical practices, especially when those patients are children. California will continue to stand up for LGBTQ+ youth and push back against efforts that put their health, safety, and dignity at risk.”
Today’s decision by #SCOTUS to strike down Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy for minors is deeply troubling and puts LGBTQ+ youth at risk.
Conversion therapy is not care—it’s a dangerous, discredited practice that can lead to depression, anxiety, and suicide.

Graphic of the California State Capitol with text reading: “Zbur Bill Passes Assembly Committee on Public Safety.” It highlights AB 2217, a bill to modernize crime prevention by expanding access to housing, health care, mental health, and substance use services instead of arrest for certain low-level, non-violent offenses. A photo of Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur appears on the right, with his title and logo at the bottom.
Proud to share #AB2217 passed the Assembly Committee on Public Safety today.
By connecting people to services instead of jail, we can improve public safety and outcomes for everyone.

Proud to share that #AB2039 — my bill to strengthen consequences for attorneys who illegally pay for clients or referrals (known as "capping”) — passed the Assembly Judiciary Committee today.
Attorneys should protect clients, not exploit them.
TY Consumer Attorneys of California for sponsoring!

A photo of Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur appears in the bottom right, with the Assemblymember’s logo at the bottom.
No one should have to fear that seeking legal health care could put their privacy or safety at risk. My bill #AB1930 ensures our state can stand up to attacks on reproductive and gender-affirming health care.
TY to @eqca.bsky.social & @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov!

Blue graphic with white lettering and text reading: Assemblymember Zbur’s Statement in Response to Recent Reportson Cesar Chavez. My heart breaks for my friend Dolores Huerta and for Ana Murguía and Debra Rojas, who each bravely shared their stories of Cesar Chavez’s sexual abuse and rape. They, and all survivors, deserve our support and compassion, and we must continue to fight for survivors’ voices to be heard. We can never, ever accept sexual violence in our society.
