With SNAP benefits still at risk, Los Angeles is stepping up with food distribution sites and programs across our district.
I'll keep fighting to protect SNAP. If you currently need assistance, visitΒ 211.orgΒ to find food resources near you.
We just launched the biggest primary program in Indivisibleβs history. Help us (literally) send Schumer and the surrender caucus a message. open.substack.com/pub/ezralevi...

Supreme Court turned down a request to consider overturning its decision to legalize same-sex marriage a decade ago. The court, without comment, declined the petition, filed by Kim Davis, the former Kentucky county clerk who in 2015 refused to issue same-sex licenses because of her religious beliefs

You must be as outraged as I am! As your constituent, I demand you vote to remove @schumer.senate.gov as minority senate leader. It only takes 23 senators, easily attained since many more Dem Senators voted no, as you did! @indivisiblewestsidela.com @indivisible.org

Now that I understand Schumer doesn't believe we're yet in a constitutional crisis, his tactical shortcomings make sense. But his position here is also deeply out of line with rank and file Dems. We need new leadership.
