@RefuseRefuseSF @Nextdoor Thanks Vince for coming out and supporting our team!

Spent the morning with 150+ @Nextdoor employees who volunteered their time to clean up Nob Hill and Lower Nob Hill. Great to see a company dedicated to the helping bring the community together also showing it with their actions.

@brendanbabb @BloombergDotOrg @Greendrv Nice pic!

Learning a ton and feeling rejuvenated at the #ChiefInnovatorsStudio w/leading innovators (and some I’m lucky to call friends) from around the world. #CityLab2022 @BloombergDotOrg @BloombergDotOrg

We're partnering with indoor vertical farming company @plenty, making us the first large U.S. retailer to significantly invest in vertical farming. We plan to utilize Plenty's platform to deliver fresh, sustainable produce to our stores year-round. bit.ly/3IBByPb

@JRosenworcel @POTUS @FCC Congrats! Well deserved!

Being a public servant requires discipline. I would love to publish a book of public servants’ unsent tweets of 2020/1.

Our #digitalinclusion efforts w/many partners have brought free broadband to 100,000 low-income residents, & will connect more than 300,000 in @EastSanJose —equivalent to a city the size of Pittsburgh—by 2022. Pls call 408.716.3811 for help. bit.ly/3nQKPt9

Excited to share our expansion plans across California! Can’t wait for more people to get to taste this!

Coming soon: @CityofSanJose + @ATTPolicyCA are partnering to bring 11k hotspots to residents in need—connecting students & families to internet access for distance learning + critical online services. Stay tuned! abc7news.com/education/sj-t…

@margarethmcgill Congrats!

Some personal news! I'm taking a break from covering tech policy to learn the ins and outs of caring for my new baby Leona! I'll be back on the beat in a few months.

Meet Jordan, San José's new Chief Innovation Officer. His extensive experience in public service & tech has prepared him to tackle issues like digital equity + assisting the city with economic recovery in the face of COVID-19. We're thrilled to have him! ➡️bit.ly/2P0WFk8

We're seeing a significant rise in indoor #verticalfarming. @plenty saves 1M gallons of water per week, uses no pesticides & utilizes LED lights to grow its nutritious & delicious produce. @SSantosham speaks w/ @beondtvofficial @CarlosTVRadio beond.tv/video/business… #Agritech

Please donate your used laptops to close the homework gap!

So proud to be a former member of the @sliccardo team that pushed for #digitalinclusion in #SanJose! Keep on pushing Sam & @sanjosemoti!

What makes a city “smart” post-pandemic? How much privacy will residents swap for convenience? On Wed @AnnCavoukian, @SSantosham, @nsjacob, @anthonymobile, and @JBradley_DC will tackle these questions + live ones from YOU. aspeninstitute.org/events/where-t…
