Beautiful young soul #RalphYarl - we need you to survive, to tell your story, to continue to be a light. I am so sorry for all of the hate and darkness in our country- we are so broken and have so much work to do internally. Please know how loved you are. We pray for you. ❤️🙏

His name is #RalphYarl and I’m sick and tired of this feeling…my heart completely broke when I learned this precious 16-year-old, who accidentally rang the door of the wrong address in an attempt to pick up his siblings, was shot in the head… (1/3)

Truly heartbreaking. A child’s birthday party turned into a nightmare. We have to do more in this country to protect our children and communities from gun violence. Enough is enough.

A Sweet Sixteen party in Alabama: 4 lives lost. More than 20 shot. And it’s barely making the news. Gun violence is killing our kids. Every. Day. And what are the doing about it? Cheering themselves on at the NRA Convention this week.

I’m horrified by the ongoing, blatant attempts by extreme conservatives to deprive the American people of their right to knowledge. Let’s be clear: banning books and closing libraries is dangerous censorship and a threat to our democracy.

There is power in the people. I’m so grateful to this new generation of young leaders like Justin Pearson and Justin Jones for calling out extremism and calling for equality, racial justice, and human decency. We must continue to uplift their voices!

A lot has changed — for better & for worse — since I released my film Miss Rep in 2011. And although we’ve made significant strides towards equitable representation in leadership & media, we still have work to do to bring women’s stories & lived experiences to the forefront.

¡Feliz Dia de ! 🌟 Dolores is a true testament to the power & efficacy of social justice movements led by women – especially women of color. 👏 California and its people are forever indebted to her for her courage, her voice, and her steadfast advocacy. 🙏

Happy @DoloresHuerta Day! From improving labor conditions to mobilizing support for farmworkers, Huerta pioneered a labor movement that lives on today through @DoloresHuertaFD, where she teaches the next generation of organizers to empower and drive change. ¡Sí se puede!

CA is committed to safeguarding & expanding the personal freedom that comes from reproductive choice. In a time when targeted backlash against women’s progress persists around the country, CA continues to lead in the fight to value women & treat them equitably.

Medication abortion remains legal in CA. In anticipation of this extremist ruling, we secured a stockpile of an alternative medication abortion drug to ensure that Californians continue to have access to safe & affordable reproductive health care. kcrw.com/news/shows/npr

Another Monday in America… Meanwhile, lawmakers are being expelled for trying to protect their communities from gun violence. Where is our humanity? My heart breaks for Louisville. Not one more community should have to confront this type of violence & tragedy.

Today’s ruling to pull back the 20-year FDA approval of Mifepristone by Federal Judge Kacsmaryk threatens access to abortion care across the country. Abortion is still legal and accessible here in California and we won’t stand by as fundamental freedoms are stripped away.
GOVERNOR NEWSOM STATEMENT ON TEXAS JUDGE RESTRICTING ACCESS TO MEDICATION ABORTION
"Today's ruling, by an extremist Judge pursuing a political agenda, ignores facts, science, and the law - putting the health of millions of women and girls at risk.
"Abortion is still legal and accessible here in California and we won't stand by as fundamental freedoms are stripped away."

Given these priorities, it’s no surprise that many of the same legislatures are seeking to harm people of color and the LGBTQ community through policies that restrict voting rights, remove critical race theory and gender studies, and deny gender-affirming healthcare.

It’s unconscionable that so many state legislatures are more focused on controlling women and girls’ bodies and less on protecting children from gun violence.

We still have so much truth-telling and healing to do in this country. And our nation’s history must never be erased. Sites like this serve as an important reminder that it is incumbent on all of us to never let anything like this happen again. 🙏

I’m so grateful to our friend Bryan Stevenson & for their extraordinary work, including the conception of The National Memorial for Peace & Justice. This stunning — yet deeply somber — memorial honors the countless innocent victims of horrific, sanctioned racial terror.

When we educate ourselves about the connection between slavery, lynching, Jim Crow laws, mass incarceration, and systemic racism, we gain more empathy for the unique experience of the Black community in America — the first step to helping heal our nation.

The pay gap hurts us all — especially mothers & women of color. The good news is we have agency. Urging the companies we buy from to sign the #EqualPayCA Pledge is a tangible action we can all take today to normalize pay equity & help close the pay gap.
