During the pandemic, American billionaires’ collective wealth has increased by over $1 trillion.
$1 trillion is enough to pay every American $3,000
Moral of the story: tax the rich.

This was accountability, not justice.
We will have justice when we create a world where George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Angelo Quinto, Daunte Wright, Roger Allen, Derrick Gaines, Chinedu Okobi, and many others like them never die in the first place.

For some perspective:
The G7 countries have a combined GDP of over $33 trillion
The U.S. spends $700 billion on defense.
$1 billion was donated to Notre Dame.
$20 million is a joke.

Last year I became South San Francisco's first openly LGBTQ+ and youngest councilmember ever elected.
Now, I'm running for State Assembly because our government can’t just work for the wealthy and well connected, it has to work for everyone.
And I've got the courage to act.

Ok I’ll bite.
The 101 managed lanes project is a poor use of $600 million. Widening freeways increases pollution, induces demand (adds more cars to the freeway), and doesn’t improve traffic congestion.
Money is better spent investing in public transit.

I'm queer, I'm a son of an immigrant, I'm a first-gen low-income student at Harvard, and today I'm launching my campaign for City Council against our city's 18-year incumbent.

South San Francisco’s measure to provide universal preschool and childcare just qualified for the ballot in November!
It would be paid for by taxes on large corporations and also give childcare teachers a living wage!

The regional stay at home order was put in place in December when California had an average of 17k new cases per day.
Doesn’t make much sense for Newsom to lift it when we’re currently averaging 27k cases?
Gov. Gavin Newsom is expected to announce Monday that the stay at home order will be lifted in all regions of the state, according to a letter from the California Restaurant Association to its members.

Last year, I ran for city council in South San Francisco as a democratic socialist.
Our grassroots campaign defeated an 18 year incumbent and our city elected its youngest, first LGBTQ+, and first democratic socialist city council member.
My message to you: Run for office!!!
Are you a socialist? Do you have ideas about making people’s lives better? Do you want to run for office? Jabari Brisport, a democratic socialist just elected to the New York State Senate, joins us this week to explain how you can run for office and win as a socialist.

It’s been over 5 months since many grocery store companies have paid their workers with Hazard Pay
They’ve instead been paying their executives bonuses and purchasing stock buybacks.
Kroger: $465 million in buybacks
Albertsons/Safeway: $1.6 billion
Walgreens: $4.2 billion
It’s amazing how quickly people went from “essential” to “unskilled” workers when the time came to talk about adequately paying and insuring them.
Another example of how performative actions don’t change anything.

South City police owns over $735k worth of military equipment, including a mine resistant tank.
When Redwood City's Mayor was asked about their tank, she was embarrassed and got rid of it.
When SSF's Rich Garbarino was asked, he said we needed it in case of "flooding."
