While we need to provide leadership and stability to the world, we should do that through diplomacy.

It's incumbent on all of us to remember our history and not repeat our past sins.

We're planting trees to break up the concrete jungle. We're building public transportation and affordable housing.

Recycling more plastics can help local businesses and expand jobs while supporting the goals of sustainability.

Poverty is poverty. At the end of the day, people want a job.

Yes, we absolutely need to eliminate the single-use plastic bag, but we don't have to eliminate the jobs of hardworking Californians to accomplish this goal.

President Trump's threat to weaponize federal funding is not only unconstitutional but emblematic of the cruelty he seeks to impose on our most vulnerable communities.

No one wants dangerous criminals in our communities.

Our communities will become more - not less - dangerous when local police officers are pulled from their duties to arrest otherwise law-abiding maids, busboys, and day laborers for immigration violations.

Equity and economic justice are now hardwired into all of our climate policies.

Foreign relations should involve human rights, workers' rights, and environmental protection.

From education to the environment, from high wages to health care to human rights, California is proof that progressive policies put into action improve the human condition of all individuals.
