Celebrating some furry friends today! 🐾 Every pet deserves a loving home, and every family deserves to know if their pet is welcome before paying rental application fees.
That’s why I authored SB 1296, which requires landlords to disclose pet policies before charging application fees. In 2024 alone, over 1,500 animals were surrendered to LA County shelters because of housing-related hardships.
Finding a home is hard enough. Pet owners shouldn’t have to pay just to find out their pet isn’t welcome.🐶🐈
Working Californians is proud to honor Senator María Elena Durazo - a leader who has spent decades fighting for workers, immigrant families, and economic justice in Los Angeles. We were honored to celebrate her alongside Mayor Karen Bass, labor leaders, elected officials, and advocates from across the city. Thank you to everyone who joined us.
What an incredible day to be an Angeleno! 💜🚇 With three new subway stops now open, there’s no better time to ride the D Line. Travel from Union Station to Beverly Hills in just 20 minutes, and enjoy free rides all weekend to celebrate. Go Metro! 🙌
We know that evictions are a leading driver of homelessness in California, and that the state spent nearly $1.5 billion to combat homelessness last year. Unfortunately, policymakers responsible for this spending continue to lack critical information about the outcomes of hundreds of thousands of evictions filed each year across the state.
Court outcome data is different, and in many ways more important, than other data around eviction filings. It reveals what actually happened during the legal process, and whether the tenant lost their home, settled with their landlord, or had their case dismissed. And, according to A Civil Injustice: The State of Eviction in California, 2010–2014—a new report from SAJE and @housingnowca —we don’t know the outcomes of more than half of the eviction cases filed in the state of California.
If state legislators and housing advocates don’t have a clear and complete picture of who is being evicted and why, they won’t be able to stem the tide of renters falling into homelessness. That’s why SAJE is calling for the passage of @senatormed ’s SB 1160, which would require all 58 of the state’s County Superior Court systems to report eviction outcome information, aggregated by ZIP Code, quarterly. Taken with the findings from A Civil Injustice, it’s clear that SB 1160 is a vital next step in helping California embrace a truly data-driven homelessness prevention policy.

Today I adjourned the Senate in memory of Kent Douglas Wong, a beloved labor leader, educator, and dear friend. His wife Jai and son Ryan joined us on the Senate Floor.
For nearly three decades, Kent shaped the UCLA Labor Center into a nationally respected hub for working people. He opened nine UC Labor Centers and founded the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance within the AFL-CIO. He mentored thousands of students in social justice and collective action.
Kent understood that the labor movement’s strength depended on embracing those too often excluded, especially undocumented workers and immigrants. He built institutions but always centered people.
Kent Wong Presente! 🕊️
May the Fourth be with you! 🌟
Star Wars reminds us that freedom and dignity are worth fighting for. Here in California, we’re doing just that - fighting for Health4All through SB 1422, standing up for immigrant families, and protecting entertainment jobs. Last year, we expanded the film tax credit to $750 million annually, bringing 147 productions, 21,500 cast and crew jobs, and $5.5 billion in economic activity back to California. These investments keep stories like Star Wars alive in our state while creating good union jobs for working families. When ordinary people come together and organize, we can overcome even the most powerful forces. May the Force be with us all!
From MacArthur Park to Grand Park, thousands showed up—workers, immigrants, families, students, faith leaders, and allies—moving as one, raising our voices, and reminding the world what people power looks like.
We marched for the right to vote and for a pathway to legalization and citizenship, for dignity on the job and the protection of LGBTQIA+ people. We marched for housing, healthcare, and an economy that serves all of us—for a future without fear, without violence, and without displacement.
Thank you to every single person who showed up. This is what solidarity looks like. 🦋
And we’re not done.
We don’t just rise on May Day—we show up for our communities every day. Solo el Pueblo Shuts it Down.
...
Desde MacArthur Park hasta Grand Park, miles de personas se unieron: trabajadores, inmigrantes, familias, estudiantes, líderes religiosos y aliados, marchando como uno solo, alzando la voz y recordándole al mundo lo que significa el poder del pueblo.
Marchamos por el derecho al voto y por un camino hacia la legalización y la ciudadanía, por la dignidad en el trabajo y la protección de las personas LGBTQIA+. Marchamos por vivienda, atención médica y una economía que nos beneficie a todos; por un futuro sin miedo, sin violencia y sin desplazamiento.
Gracias a cada persona que se unió. Esto es solidaridad. 🦋
Y aún no hemos terminado.
No solo nos levantamos el Primero de Mayo, sino que nos unimos a nuestras comunidades todos los días. Solo el Pueblo Salva al Pueblo.

This Saturday, we opened the Elephant Hill Trail in El Sereno. This was more than a ribbon cutting - it was a declaration that our communities deserve access to nature, clean air, and open spaces.
For too long, neighborhoods like El Sereno have been overlooked for park access. This weekend, we affirmed that park equity is essential. This trail is the result of community organizing led by Save Elephant Hill in collaboration with MRCA and Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. Let’s talk with our neighbors, listen to our communities, invest in equity, and protect our environment. When we do that, we all rise together.
For generations, Asian American and Pacific Islander leaders have fought for justice, dignity, and equality - and continue that fight today. From Larry Itliong and Philip Vera Cruz organizing alongside farmworkers to Grace Lee Boggs reimagining what community power looks like, AAPI communities have always been at the forefront of movements for change. Their courage, resilience, and vision inspire us.
I’m so proud to represent the vibrant AAPI communities in Senate District 26 - from Chinatown to Little Tokyo, Koreatown to Thai Town, Little Bangladesh to Historic Filipinotown, and beyond.
This Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, let’s stand together and uplift AAPI communities.
