#EquityAndJustice marches on! Plus Obama Blvd, a Sparks Christmas & MORE

September 12, 2018

Dear Neighbors,

As you may have heard, much of my agenda is part of the second year of an #EquityAndJustice package jointly authored with Sen. Ricardo Lara. Collectively, these measures emphasize needed changes to how California's juvenile and criminal justice systems treat youth and young adults.

Good news! A majority of California lawmakers voted to protect children and reform our juvenile and criminal justice systems by sending to the governor my bills to put greater emphasis on prevention, rehabilitation and maintaining family cohesion.

Watch my video urging fellow policymakers, the public and members of the media to ensure proper regulation of how children are held HERE.

Dear Neighbors,

This past week’s shooting in Maryland marks the 17th school shooting we have had this year. Tragedies such as these demonstrate that raising public awareness about gun violence, creating more civically minded students and supporting fellow students at this Saturday’s March For Our Lives event at Pershing Square in downtown Los Angeles is more critical now than ever.
