@cagovernor @gavinnewsom‘s decision to shift control of the California Department of Education from the
elected State Superintendent to the governor’s office is a troubling overreach.

Governor Newsom cannot claim to fight for democracy while actively pushing to strip voters in his own state of their democratic voice in electing an independent, nonpartisan state
superintendent to run the Department of Education and set the direction of education policy for school districts across California.

Governor Newsom also cannot claim to fight for public education and the children of California by withholding nearly $4 billion in funds that the people of California democratically voted to dedicate to public education through Prop 98.

Our message to Governor Newsom is this:

As you consider a bid for the highest office in this country, do you want your legacy to be defined by underfunding schools, shortchanging students, and actively undermining the will of
voters in your own state?

Or do you want it to be standing in defense of democracy and public education?

If it’s the latter, you should respect the voices of educators and families, rather than telling us to
take a back seat. by @utlanow

The @la28 Olympics are right around the corner. Will they be a force for good? Or will they be a force for the dark side?

Please join us at fairgamesla.org/force (or at link in bio) in urging @lucasmuseum Co-Founder and outgoing @la28 Board Member @mellodyhobson and the rest of LA28, the IOC, and others in positions of power to use their force for good and support our vision of an Olympic and Paralympic Games legacy that addresses the most pressing needs of our communities. taken in Lucas Museum of Narrative Art by @utlanow

Why does it matter who sits on City Council? ⁠
⁠
A major driver of the declining enrollment in LAUSD is how expensive it is to live in LA. The cost of living has gotten so out of control that families struggle to afford rent or are forced to leave Los Angeles. ⁠
⁠
We need city leaders who will improve quality of life for Angelenos and stand up to the corporate landlords, tech companies, and industrial polluters that profit off our city and pay nothing back.⁠ by @utlanow
