Our nation’s democratic system functioned last night and we have a new President-elect. All Americans are bound, whether we like the outcome or not, to accept the results of our elections. We now have a special responsibility, as citizens of the greatest nation on earth, to do everything we can to support and defend our Constitution, preserve the rule of law, and ensure that our institutions hold over these coming four years. Citizens across this country, our courts, members of the press and those serving in our federal, state and local governments must now be the guardrails of democracy.

I’m obsessed with history. My grandmother was a slave. When we look at the next generation, the future is us. We need to end inter generational poverty. What would Martin do? This is about history - Geoffrey Canada @OaklandThrives @prosperitynow @TSFF

This amazing thing happened yesterday👇🏾 I’m honored and humbled to be appointed to the #HOPEAccounts Board. It’s truly one of the most meaningful opportunities I’ve received to serve and carry forward @NancySkinnerCA’s legacy of work 🙏🏾🥹 TY @NancySkinnerCA @SenToniAtkins
I've introduced a new bill strengthening the #HOPEAccounts law I authored last year. That law made CA the first in the nation to create savings accounts for children who lost a parent or guardian to COVID and for youth who are in long-term foster care.

This is huge. Such legislation was a longtime dream and object of the asset-building movement. Now comes this — progressive savings, some economic security for every working person. Serious social innovation takes generations washingtonpost.com/business/…
Proud CA is leading the way with largest statewide baby bond program in US. Our #HopeAccount program will be launched in early 2023 and will, at first, target foster youth and children whose parents died of COVID.

How do we take children and families pushed to the margins and put them at the center? @CanDoNgandu #ProsperitySummit2022
