Had a great discussion with Chabot Los Positas Chancellor Ron Gerhard today. We discussed ways the state can help support his students during these unusual times.

This week I am highlighting La Familia Counseling Service. La Familia is working with over 6000 Alameda County residents every year in programs that help people create their best lives and make communities stronger and more hopeful. Join me in the fight to end family homelessness and in supporting La Familia and FESCO who work tirelessly year round.

Another experience affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Alameda County Building and Construction Trades 46th annual Holiday Luncheon!. Proud to be there on Zoom and to sponsor the event. Happy holidays to everyone.
