I cast my vote at the Belle Cooledge Community Center, honoring the first woman to serve Sacramento as the mayor and her legacy of breaking barriers in our city. If elected, I would become the first Black woman to serve as Sacramento's Mayor, carrying this legacy forward.
Join me in making history—vote for me, Dr. Flojaune Cofer, and don’t forget to vote #YesOnE to protect our libraries. Measure E is NOT a new tax, just an extension of our current library support. Without your vote, our libraries face reduced hours and closures.

As an employer of multiple caregivers to support me in my life, I know that care work IS REAL WORK. It's time for a National Domestic Worker Bill of Rights to demand dignity for workers. Please join me in signing our petition: secure.everyaction.com/eSqzZ…#CareCantWait
In Home Supportive Services allows me to live independently and hold a job. My provider cleans, cooks, shops and many other things I physically can't do. #CareInPublic#CareCantWait@SheilaKuehl
Yes, @KumiROCKS! We're so glad you're receiving the care you deserve. And yes, care providers need a wage they can survive on! It's #Timefor20#20CantWait
This morning's tweet was made possible by my #IHSS caregiver, who starts her day at 5 AM to get me showered, assist w/ toileting and prepare breakfast. She also has to manage care simultaneously for her own diabetic son, because #CareCantWait. It's #TimeFor20. #CareInPublic
This week is the #CareInPublic week of action. We're still fighting to raise wages for IHSS homecare providers in LA to $20/hr. Providers need higher wages, consumers need access to care. Can you join in by sharing a snapshot of your care story and urging LA's BOS to raise wages?
Thank you, @SFdirewolf for telling your story: "Four whole weeks [in the ICU]. I still felt vulnerable but I knew my sisters had my back. I decided to go home. Fuck capitalism. Fuck the medical industrial complex. Fuck ableism." ~Alice Wong
