🧵 (1/4)Personal News 🗞️: I’m honored to share I’ve accepted the role of Communications Coordinator for Teamsters 1932!
I’ve always had a passion for Labor and fighting for working class families.
Good afternoon Capitol Community! Proud to announce that as a participant in the Sacramento Semester program, I started my first day as an intern in the office of Assemblymember Liz Ortega. Super excited to get to work on issues like Labor, Education, Public Safety and much more!
I successfully conquered DC this summer ✊🏽
Now that I’m back in Sacramento, I’m dedicating time to labor and I’m more passionate than ever to work for Labor.
I was born in a labor family. Father is a Teamsters member and mother in the warehouse industry raised me right ❤️
The fight for democracy has always been important. With the stakes going higher and higher each election, it’s important that we have young leaders such as this slate to fight and organize 💪🏽

My first picket line I was 12 years old. I didn’t know that I was contributing to a larger movement. Now, I’m running for DNC delegate (CD-7) and it’s surreal 🤍🪧✊🏽
I remember one time
@LorenaSGonzalez
was speaking at a conference and said “no one is ever too young to join labor” now fast forward 2 years later, I am 21 years old and will now be a communications coordinator for Teamsters Local 1932 🥹💫

She is an incredible, bad ass, inspiring Latina Labor Woman who I call the Labor Queen 👑
Thank you Lorena for inspiring me in the labor movement!
#UnionizeCA
Someone recently asked me “when is this unionization stuff going to stop?”
Our unionization “stuff” will NOT stop until every worker is respected, paid a living wage, and has access to quality healthcare! On top of that, we need to

. All of it ❤️✊🏽
Life update: this past Saturday, I was elected as Chair of the Latinx Caucus for the College Democrats of America 🫶🏽❤️
Thank you for all the support and endorsements and congrats to the rest of our CDA REBORN slate!

Today I’m wrapping up my internship with Congressman Garamendi 😢
truly going to miss the team who work tirelessly for CA-08 and I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity to intern on Capitol Hill! 🏛️
Onto my next chapter ❤️
Hey
@Starbucks
, instead of my bday free drink today, pay your workers a living wage!
@SBWorkersUnited
✊🏽
I dare them to pay $21 an hour for my 21st today ✊🏽❤️
So honored to carry this effort into the State’s Budget.
Grateful to legislative colleagues and to
@GavinNewsom
for supporting this important work.
This is a game changer for foster youth in California.
Congratulations 🎉 to
@axy1a
and the rest of his
@cacollegedems
slate!
The California College Democrats needed a more progressive and outspoken leader! Aiden is a long time progressive, ally to labor, and much more!
Can’t wait to see the things you will accomplish 🎉
I get to leave Sac State knowing that I helped unionize student administrative workers on campus!
I got my union start with CSUEU💫❤️
Because of CSUEU, I can proudly say we did that shit! We did what many said was impossible.
#UNIONIZECA
🚨Update🚨
We now hit a little bit over 3,300 union cards!
We are one step closer to triggering an election for all student assistants in the CSU System!!!
This is sickening.
As a CADEM delegate, I will be contacting my friends at CADEM to see how we can return our school boards back to normal where kids aren’t being attacked for being themselves.
We need to take back our school boards ✊🏽🏳️🌈
I have taken many photos in my career but this one of my favorite ❤️.

Announcement today!
Join me and labor groups for a special announcement on the recent tuition hike proposal by the CSU chancellor office!
Enough is enough. CSU students do not deserve a tuition increase!
Stay tuned!
Happy Labor Day!
Of course I have to honor Dolores Huerta for her tireless efforts in the labor movement but also a good friend of mine,
@LorenaSGonzalez

¡Si Se Puede!
I went to the Dr today because I had an asthma flair up and if it wasn’t for my Teamsters healthcare through my dads union, I would have paid $173.60 out of pocket. Instead I paid $20.
#UNIONIZECA
I can attest to this!
@EytanWallace
is the kindest and sweetest person 🤍, I genuinely mean that. He is always working hard, i never see him without a whole bunch of equipment, and he’s a one man army 💪🏽
If you’re at the Capitol, you’ll likely see
@EytanWallace
who reports for stations all throughout CA while carrying a bunch of equipment on his own. I ran into him twice today & saw how all the security, staffers, and people who saw him know him and love him. The kindest person.
Barbie and Oppenheimer smashed box office records generating hundreds of millions of dollars.
Time to give the writers guild and SAG-AFTRA and other unions a fair contract!
