Fighting Corporate Greed,
Getting Results

Together, we demand a California that works for:

Working people, not just the greedy few

Fair wages, power in our workplaces, and taxes on the rich

Women, families, and children

Paid time off, free early childcare, and women's reproductive rights

Our whole physical and mental health

Quality healthcare and education are human rights and should be free to all

Our climate

A green New Deal for the East Bay starts with seamless public transit

Working homeowners and tenants

Win housing that works for us, not the big landlords and developers

Endorsed by elected officials, trusted community leaders, and rank & file union members and grassroots organizations:

A letter from Director Beckles

Dear Friends,

Welcome to my senatorial campaign!

For more than a decade I’ve proudly served the East Bay fighting for working families, a clean environment, safety and equity.

As a Richmond City Council member, I helped usher in a suite of progressive reforms that transformed our City β€” collecting $100 million in new taxes from Chevron, instituting a $15 minimum wage, creating the first California rent control in thirty years. I’m especially proud of our groundbreaking β€œBan the Box” legislation, which allows formerly incarcerated people to seek work with dignity.

Despite a multimillion-dollar campaign against my re-election, I won a second term and went on to work with my colleagues on the Council and the Richmond Progressive Alliance to bring about real progressive change. I am not afraid to stand up to powerful interests to protect the rights of those whose voices are not being heard.

Currently I sit on the AC Transit Board, Ward 1, where I have continued bringing in progressive values and equity for transit users.

Now I’m running for State Senate, to become the only first Black Latina, LGBTQ, immigrant to the California State Senate. and to bring true, progressive representation to all of District 7 (formerly District 9, served by Nancy Skinner whose term is ending in 2024).

Please join this innovative, transformative campaign: People powered and corporate free.
