It was an honor to join @wehocity.bsky.social for #VeteransDay & honor active duty servicemembers and veterans, including Major Veronica Zerrer, who was recognized for her distinguished 22 year career & her advocacy for veterans, seniors & the LGBTQ+ community.

To all who have served, thank you. 💙

New state law inspired by Pomeranian rescued from Palisades Fire aims to protect pets in disasters AB 478 was introduced by a Southern California lawmaker and goes into effect in the new year.

“California has stepped up to really recognize how important people's pets are as part of their families,” Zbur said. “We actually have learned from some of the gaps we had in our laws and procedures.”

Today is #LatinaEqualPayDay, a reminder that working full-time, year-round earn just 58¢ for every $1 earned by white men. That number drops lower for part-time, seasonal & migrant workers.

It’s long past time to close the pay gap — for fairness, families & our future.
