Right now, federal workers are on the front lines of this reckless shutdown. Families are missing paychecks. Federal jobs are at risk. Critical programs and services that millions of everyday Americans depend on—everything from food assistance to housing support—are being cut off.

🔥 We showed what San Diego is made of! @workingfamilies.org is about YOU — the people fighting for affordable housing, healthcare, union jobs, and a democracy that works for the many, not the few. San Diego is ready to lead & with WFP we’re building a city that truly puts working families first.

✨ Last night’s @workingfamilies.org event was everything and more. Grateful to everyone who came out to learn more about WFP, support working people, and build power together. Special thanks to Jane Kim, WFP State Director, for joining us in SD & @seanelorivera.bsky.social for emceeing the event.

📢 Join the Working Families Party this Friday (Sep 26 | 7–9pm) as we welcome Jane Kim, California WFP State Director to San Diego! Let’s make this a night of community, connection, and power building for working families. See you Friday! RSVP 👉 mysandiego.info/wfp

🚨 San Diego: We’ve got something SPECIAL coming up! Join us Friday (Sep. 26) as we welcome Jane Kim, @caworkingfamilies.bsky.social State Director, for a night of community, connection, and celebration. Whether you’re a member or just curious about WFP, all are welcome! RSVP: mysandiego.info/wfp

It was either the Bob Belcher or Audre Lorde 🤷🏽 (a toss up really) that said: ”Caring for myself, is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” Please be kind to yourselves. You deserve rest & recovery. Don’t postpone joy.

🚨 FINAL STRETCH: On Wednesday, Sep 3 at 6PM, Oceanside City Council will vote on a Tenant Protection Ordinance that could help stop unfair evictions, stabilize rents, and keep families housed. MAJOR props to @ericjoyce760.bsky.social, his mighty team, and the coalition of community partners!

It’s been a long (and very sweaty 😅) Labor Day out with @seanelorivera.bsky.social, capturing moments of solidarity, joy, and power with workers, community leaders, and organizers. Huge thanks to @sdiclaborcouncil.bsky.social and the coalition that made today possible.

🔥✊🏽 Fired up for tomorrow’s (Mon, Sep 1) Labor Day Rally & March! In addition to marching alongside workers, unions, community leaders and (hopefully) YOU, I’ll also be doing some media work around our Hospitality Minimum Wage Ordinance coming to Council on Sep. 16. More Info: mysandiego.info/wage

🍳 Casual brunch where I had to document our diverging takes on casual in my daddy tee and Mark’s pussy bow blouse. I love us. 💜

Big shoutout to Oceanside Youth Commissioner—and all-around incredible human—Joseph Muro for bringing the voice of renters to today’s YIMBY Dems policy meeting! 🙌🏽 Joseph spoke powerfully in support of the Tenant Protections Ordinance (TPO) that’s heading to Oceanside City Council on Wed, Sep 3rd.

🏠 Thank you to Oceanside Deputy Mayor Eric Joyce for hosting and everyone who came out for tonight’s Community Workshop on Tenant Protections. Let’s get this done! 👏🏽

🏠 Oceanside is stepping up for tenants but…they need our support! This Thursday (Aug 7 at 6pm), join the Tenant Protections Community Workshop to learn about a new ordinance that could help stop unfair evictions, limit rent hikes, and keep families housed. More info at mysandiego.info/tpo

🚨 San Diego's renown affordable housing program is under threat. The ADU Bonus Program created 115+ affordable homes in just 3 years (compared to 3 homes in the previous 7 years). On Tuesday, City Council votes to begin dismantling it. 🧵/6

Please come to the council meeting (you can zoom) and tell them to keep the ADU bonus program, because it is working to bring us much needed housing ⬇️

Grateful for our team and the support of workers and labor leaders who helped us get past the first major hurdle with our Raise The Wage ordinance. ALL San Diegans deserve to be compensated fairly for their work and to be treated with dignity and respect. One job should be enough. Raise the wage.
