Thank you,
@CAGovernor
for giving the Organized Retail Crime Task Force the tools we need to stop organized retail theft in our state.   Organized retail theft is bad for businesses, consumers and public safety. It will not be accepted in California.

I call on

to act to protect workers nationwide from extreme heat. From farmworkers to warehouse workers, extreme heat risks lives and livelihoods. And as climate change results in more intense heatwaves, we don’t have a moment to waste.

I’m deeply saddened by the passing of Supervisor Richard Valle. My condolences to his wife Barbara, his loved ones, and the entire Alameda county community.
I’m deeply saddened by the passing of Supervisor Richard Valle. His kind heart, gentle touch, and deep humanity will be sorely missed. He was a lifelong fighter for workers and vulnerable communities, and he saw and valued each and every person he served. My condolences to his wife Barbara, his loved ones, and the entire Alameda county community.

8 individuals have been charged with felonies for an organized retail theft scheme targeting Apple stores with an estimated $1M loss amount. Organized retail theft costs businesses and consumers – and puts the public at risk. Brazen criminal activity won't be tolerated in CA.

The jury returned 38 felony guilty verdicts with multiple enhancements and aggravating factors against these defendants. However, today’s sentencing did not recognize the level of horror that the Rainbow Bright victims experienced at the hands of the Gamos Family.

From eating disorders to suicidal ideation, social media can be devastatingly harmful to our kid’s mental health.    We're investigating TikTok and Meta to learn what they knew about these harms—and if they promoted their platforms to young users regardless.  #SaferInternetDay

Here’s a fact: California has the strongest gun safety laws in the nation and one of lowest firearm mortality rates. And with #SB2, were going further. We’re going to save more lives.

California Partnership to End Domestic Violence
@cpedvcoalition
The Partnership and anti-violence advocates across the state are rightfully disturbed by the precedence that Judge Wilson’s opinion on United States v. Rahimi sets for the safety of domestic violence victims and all Americans. Read full statement: cpedv.org/press-release/
Text reads: California Partnership to End Domestic Violence condemns federal ruling allowing people who harm to access guns, affirms prohibitions still in place in California California DVROs continue to protect survivors with firearm prohibitions.

This decision is dangerous & misguided. Firearms are used in more than half of intimate partner homicides in America. Restraining orders, including Domestic Violence Restraining Orders, still prohibit firearm possession in CA. Learn how to request one: oag.ca.gov/ogvp/gvro-dvro
Domestic Violence Restraining Orders (DVRO) What is a DVRO? A DVRO is a written order signed by the court, prohibiting a named person from harassing or physically abusing a family member or significant other. In California, a person subject to a DVRO is automatically prohibited from owning, possessing, purchasing, receiving firearms or ammunition. Who can request a DVRO? You can request a DVRO if: 1. You want a restraining order against: a. Your spouse, ex-spouse, registered domestic partner, or ex-registered domestic partner; b. Someone you have a child with; c. Your parent, child, sibling, or grandparent (including in-laws); d. A significant other that you live with or used to live with. AND 2. That person has been abusive. a. Abuse can be spoken, written, and/or physical. It can be sexual or emotional. Examples include threats of violence, excessive yelling, attempts to control aspects of your life, stalking, har
