State Senator Jesse Arreguín

Congratulations to this year’s James Irvine Foundation Leadership awards recipients! This year’s leaders are 8 Californians with promising approaches on youth mentorship and mental health, civic engagement, higher education research, housing, and homeless services.👏

Congrats to the City of Richmond on the recent groundbreaking of renovations to the main library, which will expand it into a sustainable community hub and resiliency center. The $34M project is funded in part by California's State Library grant.

Today I welcomed Oakland educators to their new home. This innovative housing model is showing that we are taking action to invest in our schools and communities. When teachers are rooted in the communities they serve, students succeed.

Did you feel it? A magnitude 4.6 earthquake in the Santa Cruz Mountains that rattled the region overnight serves as a reminder that April is Earthquake Preparedness Month. Learn more to get prepared for when the Big One hits: news.caloes.ca.gov/quakeprepmonth/

Excited to witness a new era in human space exploration as mankind travels around the Moon for the first time in over 50 years. Piloting the historic crew of Artemis II is Californian Victor Glover Jr, whose wife Dionna is a Berkeley native. 🚀🌘

As the son and grandson of farmworkers, I am proud to honor the invaluable contributions laborers do to feed Californians and the world. This Farmworkers Day, we acknowledge the need to provide respect and dignity to those who sacrifice so much to provide to others.

Today on March 31st, 2026 we observe Trans Visibility Day. We raise and appreciate the transgender lives in our communities and raise awareness of the discrimination, poverty, violence that our Trans siblings go through. While many seek to attack the Trans Community, in California we will continue to push back on the hateful rhetoric and policies that harm the Trans Community. glaad.org/tdov/ #transvisibilityday #trans #LGBT #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA+ #jessearreguin #CASD07 #Oakland #Berkeley #Alameda #Richmond #sfbay #EastBay

Today the Trust for Public Lands announced that they have partnered with the East Bay Regional Parks District to secure an option agreement on the former Golden Gate Fields property in Albany/Berkeley. “This is a major victory for our region. Our waterfront is one of our greatest public assets, and transforming Golden Gate Fields into a new shoreline park is an investment in the health, resilience, and future of East Bay communities,” said California State Senator Jesse Arreguín. tpl.org/media-room/tru… #parks #openspace #CASD07 #jessearreguin #Berkeley #Albany #EastBay #nature

"When it comes to tackling the state’s crisis, Arreguin said lawmakers have to take an “all of the above approach” – prevent displacement, but at the same time build more housing units and lower costs for construction." capradio.org/articles/2026/…

This morning I joined colleagues and advocates in supporting common-sense bills to address gun violence prevention, building upon the success California has made at reducing crime, including a 25% drop in violent crime in Oakland over the past year.

Horrified by the footage coming out of SFO. No child should have to watch a parent taken away in fear and confusion. I'm introducing SB 1257 to track and shine a light on ICE activity to better enable CA leaders to protect our communities. sd07.senate.ca.gov/news/state-law…

Eid Mubarak! As Ramadan comes to a close, I wish those marking the occasion a happy and joyous Eid al-Fitr.

Proud to be an Oakland resident as Oakland wins big on the world stage. From arts to sports, Oakland is showing the world the strength of our diversity and the positive cultural impact we provide through our incredibly talented residents. ktvu.com/news/oaklands-…
