Racist 911 calls are unacceptable that's why I'm introducing the CAREN Act at today’s SF Board of Supervisors meeting. This is the CAREN we need. Caution Against Racially Exploitative Non-Emergencies. #CARENact #sanfrancisco

Along with Mayor Breed, our office is going to lead the effort on redirecting funding from the police department to the African American community. This is a concrete, bold and immediate step towards true reparations for Black people. I’m excited to lead on this with Mayor Breed!

I’m supporting Senator Elizabeth Warren for president. It is time for visionary leadership, with a social justice focus. She is focused on providing health care for all, cancelling student loan debt, rebuilding the middle class and addressing the wealth gap that exist in the U.S. pic.twitter.com/ZwuHeAQdcJ
