HUD leadership should hold itself to a higher standard than this. This kind of divisiveness does not solve anything. @placercountydemocrats.org #placerdems #CADEM #Democrats #Trump #Congress #CA03

While a government shutdown is an unwelcome occurrence for federal agencies, that is not an excuse for the leadership of those agencies to act unprofessionally and engage in blatant lies and partisanship. Their responsibility is to serve the American people, not play blame games. #Shutdown

These kinds of acts not only threaten non-white residents, but threaten healthy and free speech. It is these kinds of displays and rhetoric that make violence more likely. Everyone who wants to live in an equal, just, and loving society must make it clear that these are not American values. #America

Sadly, promoting racist conspiracy theories and stereotypes in public discourse has been increasingly re-normalized. We must loudly reject such efforts and statements. We cannot allow this ignorance and intimidation to prevail once again. #AntiRacist

They are becoming increasingly emboldened to show themselves in Placer County. In 2023, it was a group of Proud Boys harassing a pastor and openly displaying white power hand signs during a school board meeting in Roseville. Now they are marching in Auburn. goldcountrymedia.com/news/282781/...

We cannot allow this to be acceptable in Placer County. While Placer County elected officials would prefer not to talk about it, people need to know that this is happening in their cities. @placercountydemocrats.org #PlacerDems #Democrats #CADEM

White supremacists from the NorCal Active Club marched at the courthouse in Auburn, California, at the Charlie Kirk vigil. While they hid their faces, they took this opportunity to openly promote their hateful views. #Placer #PlacerCounty #California #CharlieKirk #Whitesupremacy #Racism

Canvassing is the most effective way of campaigning. Talking to people in your community is what it will take to pass Prop 50.

If you are canvassing for Yes on Prop. 50 in Placer County this weekend, we are using the new PDI Mobile app. It has a BLUE background. If you are using the PDI app with the white or black background, it will not work. Sign up for a canvas near you! www.mobilize.us/cadems/

We need a trade policy that promotes labor standards and unions around the world. That is how we increase trade without sending jobs overseas. We need to continue our investment in higher education and achieve universal healthcare so that they are accessible to all, not just the wealthy.

The Democratic Party will always remain steadfast and vocal in its support of organized labor. We must make clear that if you want a strong middle class, you must support policies that help the workers of the middle class, not the top 1% in our economy. #labor #unions #democraticparty

The lives upended by mass layoffs mean nothing to Trump and this Republican controlled Congress. They cut taxes for the wealthiest Americans while cutting our the safety nets for working people who fall on hard times.

Instead of keeping promises to support workers, the Trump Administration is quickly pushing forward with attacks on organized labor and weakening worker protections. This is becoming one of the most dire moments for labor in modern American history.

From farmworkers to ironworkers; from longshoremen to autoworkers; from teachers and nurses to scientists and engineers; and all other union workers, these are the people who brought us out of the gilded age and into a new deal. Thank you for your proud history of making America better.

Happy Labor Day everyone! This is a time to remember and celebrate everything that has been created by working people and the gains that we have made because of organized labor. We have a middle class because of unions. It is workers who fuel the economy. #placerdems #cadem #democrats #laborday

The night's theme was "Together, We Rise" because we are stronger when we bring people together and lift each other up. This is how we protect each other from attacks on our communities and work towards a better quality of life for all.

We had several candidates speak and we presented awards to several deserving and hardworking Placer County Democrats. I want to give a big thank you to all of the dinner's sponsors, our Blue Legacy Donors, our volunteers, and to those who sponsored young Democrats, so that they could attend.

I finally have some time to post about the @placercountydemocrats.org's successful 12th Annual Roosevelt-Kennedy Dinner on August 8, which was a sellout event. We were honored to have Pro Tem Mike McGuire speak, as well as Betty Yee. #PlacerDems #CADEM #Democrats #CA03 #PlacerCounty

Breonna Taylor should be alive today.

She was shot and killed while sleeping when officers fired into her home.

By seeking a one-day sentence for her murder, Trump's DOJ is sending a cruel and disrespectful message: that they don't value her life or that of her loved ones.

I managed to get one selfie. Thousands of people showed up to the No Kings Rally in Roseville, CA this morning. The largest protest in Placer County so far this year. People are fired up and ready to take back their country. #placerdems #Indivisible #cadem #nokings #Democrats #placercounty

The Placer County Democratic Party condemns the incendiary rhetoric and the stoking of violence from Trump and Kiley

This is incendiary rhetoric. No one is seceding or creating an insurrection. We must be watchful for statements that escalate the situation and then are used to justify draconian actions against free speech and assembly. #PlacerDems #Democrats #KevinKiley #Trump #LA #California #Protest #CADEM
