Super glad that Neysa Fligor HANDILY won the runoff election for #SantaClaraCounty assessor with 66% of the votes vs 35% for her opponent. Not only is she qualified for the position, her opponent Rishi Kumar has been running on a campaign of basically impossible promises (also known as lies): he claimed that he would lower property taxes when elected, and fight for more tax exemptions; things that are NOT within the power of the assessor’s office.

Pretty happy with how this one turned out. One more grifter rejected from office.

In the heart of Silicon Valley, fast food workers are fighting for access to basic information on their rights.

A new report (www.chirla.org/fastfoodworkersreport/) finds that 94% of fast food workers surveyed in CA didn’t know they have a right to paid sick leave and workers’ comp. Many reported threats of deportation or ICE action just for speaking up about stolen wages or unsafe conditions.

On August 26, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors will vote on whether to create Know Your Rights trainings for fast food workers in the county. Multinational fast food corporations are spending huge sums to lobby against this one local policy - they are afraid of workers learning that they have rights.

Please support the workers by sending a letter to the Board of Supervisors: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/protect-immigrant-fast-food-workers

"Special education and migrant education programs are being hollowed out, regardless of their effectiveness to interrupt generational poverty, or stave off long-term financial disability...Public education is not a short-term investment. Its value is measured in the lives it shapes and the opportunities that it can create." #SantaClaraCounty #education https://sanjosespotlight.com/op-ed-public-education-in-santa-clara-county-needs-a-defender/
