Today is #LatinaEqualPayDay, a reminder that working full-time, year-round earn just 58¢ for every $1 earned by white men. That number drops lower for part-time, seasonal & migrant workers. It’s long past time to close the pay gap — for fairness, families & our future. #EqualPay

TY David for sharing why #AB715, which I proudly coauthor, matters: “We are stronger when we fight hate together, and sometimes targeted solutions are necessary…. To say antisemitism alone doesn’t warrant action is to say Jews uniquely don’t deserve protection.” www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-e...
