THE PROBLEM
WHAT WE'RE UP AGAINST
Homogeneous decision-making has limited California's intelligence pool. Brilliance is suppressed by systems built without us in mind.
MY POLICY PLAN
WHAT WE'LL DO ON DAY ONE, AND BEYOND
Equity Impact Assessments on every state policy.
Reparative investments in historically redlined communities.
Pay equity enforcement with real teeth public reporting and penalties.
Universal paid family leave 16 weeks for every parent.

mom, she was underestimated. Talent is everywhere opportunity isn't. We can change
that.”
