Education is under attack—because it’s the backbone of our democracy. They want to dismantle public schools because they know education is the great equalizer. I know what education can do—it changed my life. As Governor, I’ll defend it with everything I’ve got. #ThurmondforCA

Let’s be clear- arresting somebody for peaceful protest is what petty tinpot dictators do, it’s not something that happens in a democracy. David Huerta and anybody else who was arrested for peacefully protesting should be released immediately.

Today’s raids showed cruelty, a lack of human empathy, and disregard for the physical safety of citizens and noncitizens alike. These actions don’t make us safer—they spread fear and tear families apart. California won’t be silent. We fight for justice, compassion, and dignity.

“Last week the Trump administration arrested David Huerta. Then Trump’s Deputy Attorney General threatened that I could end up in prison for speaking out. Now today, the President is threatening to arrest Governor Newsom without justification. And this is all in a few days. The

Standing with California Legislators as we stand up for immigrant communities in LA and beyond. Calling on President Trump to end the ICE raids, militarization tactics, threats to elected officials, and the politics of fear. We are working to get more resources to advocacy groups

Trump’s unnecessary military deployment & mass ICE raids in LA are reckless & cruel. Marines in our streets. Schools locked down. Kids arrested. As State Superintendent, I'm protecting our students. As Governor, I’ll defend CA families and our values. yahoo.com/news/californi…

Huntington Beach voters sent a powerful message: Hands off our libraries! By rejecting the book review committee (A) and blocking privatization (B), they defended every student's freedom to read. We'll always fight censorship and protect public education. voiceofoc.org/2025/06/huntin…

Today we celebrate Juneteenth, a date that commemorates the end of slavery in the U.S. Let Freedom ring every where as we continue to address injustice any where. Happy Juneteenth!

Great day at Vallejo City Unified School District ceremony to commemorate the district’s return of local control decision making after two decades of state and county oversight. The district has established strong fiscal controls, repaid a $60 million loan, and improved math

Returned to the CA State Assembly to testify in support of our sponsored bill, SB 48. The bill keeps ICE enforcement off of school campuses and protects schools from potentially losing $100 million in attendance revenue. Thanks to bill author Senator Lena Gonzalez for helping us

Standing with legislative colleagues and labor champion Dolores Huerta against ICE Raids in California. SB 48 is a bill I am sponsoring under the authorship of Senator Lena Gonzalez that will keep ICE agents off of our school campuses.

Proud to stand with the iconic Dolores Huerta today in defending California families from Trump’s inhumane and illegal ICE raids, and fighting to pass SB 48 to protect immigrant California students from ICE on our school campuses.

As if ICE agents hadn’t already engaged in enough despicable and disruptive behavior, now this. 10 ICE agents showed up at a school without judicial warrants and after they were turned away they were seen urinating on campus while young students were in session nearby. The utter
