This past weekend, #PESA had its first in-person staff retreat since the start of the pandemic. The purpose of the retreat was to #engage and #empower our members, recommit to PESA’s mission and determine new goals while evaluating past performance.

This year Parents' Day fell on Sunday, July 24th. This day was named Parents' Day in 1994 by former President Clinton to recognize, #uplift, and #support what it takes to parent a child and the crucial role that #parents play in their childrens' lives.

Another great vaccination event yesterday with our partners @CentroPueblo, @Wellchildorg, @PESAinAction, and @SEIU121RN! California has made amazing progress over the last few months, but we must continue to push to get all of our neighbors vaccinated!

Last week I met with Wilson High School #TeenCourt students after they came back from #SHADES training where they learned to identify and overcome forms of hate and bias in our communities. #PESA #TeenCourt

TeenCourt is of great benefit to students and we should do all that we can to ensure that this program stays active.
