Liz Ortega for Assembly

I’m introducing this bill so that every parent, family member, or guardian can have access to this life-saving drug and protect their kids.”

“As a mom, I think about the danger of fentanyl to my kids every day,” said Assemblymember Liz Ortega. “It only takes 2 milligrams―smaller than a grain of rice―to end a life. Naloxone saves lives―but only if you can afford it.

As a mom, my heart breaks everyday when I hear about overdoses. Making naloxone accessible to ALL is critical to saving lives. #FentanylCrisis

We did it! #TeamLiz officially has submitted our 2023 bill package! Shoutout to my capitol staff for working tirelessly to get it finalized. We are committed to fighting for the workers and families in #AD20!! #CAleg

By requiring that high school students be taught their rights as employees, AB 800 will empower them with the tools and knowledge to protect and advocate for themselves in the workplace.

As a labor champion who has fought for workers for over two decades, I know firsthand how important it is to teach young workers their rights. eastbayecho.com/2023/02/15/ass…

Earlier this week, @LizForAssembly, in partnership w/ @CaliforniaLabor, introduced a bill that would establish Workplace Readiness Week during the 1st week of May to teach high schoolers about their labor rights. eastbayecho.com/2023/02/15/ass… via @eastbayecho

Celebrating love! Happy Valentine's Day! ❤️

CA should be taking proactive steps to educate young workers about their rights to a fair wage, safe workplace, and to join a union. We’re excited to work with @AsmLizOrtega on #AB800 to create a “Workplace Readiness Week” for CA high schoolers to prep them for the workforce!

Today, I introduced my first bill! AB 800: “Workplace Readiness Week” will empower California high schoolers to enter the workforce knowledgeable on their rights as working minors, and educate them on Labor history and its hard fought contributions to workers rights. #CALeg

I rose today with a heavy heart to adjourn in the memory of Supervisor Richard Valle. This loss is felt across the East Bay. He gave a voice to those most vulnerable in our community and was a true public servant. Rest in power Supervisor Valle.

200 personas al día en los EE. UU. mueren por sobredosis de fentanilo. Yo Estoy enfocada en proteger a nuestras comunidades y niños de esta peligrosa epidemia. @UnivisionNews @Univision univision.com/local/san-fran…

I’m incredibly saddened to hear of the passing of Supervisor Valle, a dedicated leader who could always be counted on to stand with the working people of Alameda County. His dedication to serving our community was inspiring and he will leave a lasting legacy. 1/2

Damn right!

I was honored to stand with @carroll_fife, @CatsCommentary and a few of the local and state leaders to speak out against the violent attacks against black and women of color. We will not be silenced.
