ONE THIRD of the total registered nurses who have died nationwide have been Filipino — even though we make up just 4% of the nursing workforce. It is heartbreaking. We MUST do more to #ProtectNurses, especially those who bear the brunt of this crisis.

The fact that
@JoelAndersonCA
would think for even one second that people would buy his pathetic claim of a “misunderstanding” highlights how pervasive and long accepted this type of shameful conduct has been in Sacramento and other institutions of power. #MeToo #TimesUp

As a women of color,
@JoelAndersonCA
’s choice of words when he threatened violence against Stephanie didn’t go unnoticed by me. He used highly racialized language that stereotypes African American women. His comments clearly exposed his misogyny & blatant racism. #MeToo #TimesUp

Powerful statement by California Capitol Black Staff Association in support of Stephanie Roberson, also expressing "outrage and exasperation with the hostile environment that Black women in the Capitol community must navigate daily."

The event at which this incident took place was a work function, not a social function. Stephanie was doing her job. As a strong champion of worker protections, she like workers in all industries, deserves her workplace to be free from sexual harassment and threats of violence.

Sen. Joel Anderson’s sexual harassment of and threat of violence against our government relations director, Stephanie Roberson, is completely unacceptable and shows that he has no business holding any type of public office in California.
