    OK, looks like I’ll be the next State Senator representing #SD10! There’s a lot to say & more to come, but I want to take this moment to speak directly to all the kids in #fostercare … our dreams do come true. Never stop believing & never give up. We got this… #AmericanDream

    Met a large coalition of Indian Americans in Fremont wanting to discuss SB403! We heard their thoughts, concerns, and answered questions. I’m meeting with more and more individuals on this historic bill. SB403 will prohibit the discrimination based on caste.

    Thank you @jaketapper for listening to an actual Afghan American woman who understands both cultures and what is at stake! This is not a Left or Right issue but a humanitarian issue! Let’s focus on the work and getting people to safety. Honor the promise! #veterans #Afghanistan

    Aisha Wahab, the first Afghan-American woman elected to office in the US, discusses how the Afghan community in her city is reacting to the situation in Afghanistan. "They want us to honor the promise" and bring those who supported American troops to the United States.

    Spent the afternoon with V, formerly Eve Ensler, best known for her play The Vagina Monologues. We discussed women’s rights across the world and so much more. Glad we are all on the same team!

    I was happy to stand with the Ca State Senate welcoming Justin Jones, member of the Tennessee House of Reps., he was expelled for participating in a gun control protest inside the state capitol in a manner that Republicans said was "disorderly behavior". *Justin is from Oakland!

    I’m proud to announce that today I launched my campaign for State Senate! Growing up as a kid in foster care, I know what it means to struggle, to fight for the basics, and rely on a little bit of luck — it shouldn't have to be this way.

    Honored to be @VP Kamala Harris’ guest at her home to celebrate Eid. She is a trailblazer for so many in this country. As a woman, person of color, daughter of immigrants, and as a fellow Californian (from the Bay), I was encouraged by our conversation and shared vision.
