🇲🇽 🍉 9th gen Californian. Dem Socialist. Candidate for CA Assembly District 51. Fighting for CalCare for All, Housing for All, & Childcare for All.
At last night's West Hollywood City Council meeting, I gave a public comment on the new approved Flock network that is operating inside the city. These cameras are a violation of our civil liberties and put many vulnerable communities in harm's way. WeHo must say NO to Flock.
Join us for our weekly canvass operations. It's time to let our neighbors know that there's an actual progressive on the ballot. Someone who wants to improve working people's lives, not the Beverly Hills donor class. Sign up for more info: actionnetwork.org/forms/sign-u...
During the primary, our volunteers wrote over 3,000 postcards. This time, we're aiming to write even more! Join us for our postcarding events happening throughout the district. Sign up for future volunteer events: actionnetwork.org/forms/sign-u...
Mass Surveillance is never acceptable! It harms marginalized communities and leads to overpolicing. California must ban them. Shame on politicians who have voted to support them. #flock #flockcameras #banflockcameras #FlockOffWeHo #DeFlock #MassSurveillance #AntiSurveillance
Join us for a Candidate Meet & Greet! We're just 3 months away from the General Election! Come meet me and talk about the issues that matter the most to our communities. All Season is now located off the Wilshire and La Brea D Line stop! RSVP: secure.actblue.com/donate/candi...
I am thrilled to announce this endorsement. As a prominent progressive voice in Los Angeles County, @konstantineinca.bsky.social knows that we need more bold voices in all levels of government.
It’s not enough to abolish ICE, we also have to prosecute ICE. Any politician who is not also calling for this is complicit. We are a nation of immigrants. Immigrants make California amazing and a better place to live. ICE out of California! Video credit: @loveely_vee on instagram.
Our tax dollars need to be spent improving our infrastructure so incidents like these never happen, not giving the top 1% massive tax cuts and expanding already bloated police budgets. Visit www.weho.org/Home/Components/News/News/12208/23 for updates and resources.
Thank you Oliver Ma for endorsing our campaign. California must be a place where working people thrive and injustices are confronted.
We are almost 100 days out from the November 3rd General Election. Join us for our first fundraising event since the June 2nd Primary. There's no better way to beat the summer heat than to grab a drink and play some trivia! RSVP: secure.actblue.com/donate/areyo...
Having our first post-primary stream! Playing through the new StarFox, while talking about the election! www.twitch.tv/colinforcad51
This Tuesday will be the first fundraising deadline since the June 2nd primary! Make a donation before midnight tomorrow! We want to show that our campaign has momentum going into the general election. secure.actblue.com/donate/colin...
We are going to the general election. We’re now going up against the face of CA Dem Establishment Politics. While it’s going to be a tough uphill battle, it’s not impossible. Please donate to our campaign. Let's send a progressive to Sacramento. DONATE: secure.actblue.com/donate/colin...
The results are in and we're going to the general election this fall! Thank you to everyone who volunteered, contributed, and believed in our campaign! The people of AD 51 want change. I am a candidate that had no name recognition and minimal resources.
I got an @asmrickzbur.bsky.social mailer today. It was paid for by Advance California (a right-wing group) and sponsored by CA Apartment Association (a pro-landlord group). This is who wants Rick Zbur to win.
AB 2664 doesn’t protect people’s right to pray, it just stops people’s right to protest. We need politicians who are focused on making California affordable, not doing defense for another country.
I never thought in a million years I’d ever see my name on a ballot like this. Regardless of how this primary goes, it’s been a wild ride. I’m proud and honored of the support I’ve received from those in the community. California needs bold new leaders. We can’t afford “business as usual.”
For the record here. The event he is talking about, the synagogue invited one of the heads of Elbit Systems -- an Israeli defense firm whose tech were used in Gaza. This wasn't just some random protest.
As millions of Californians are on the verge to lose their healthcare, the time for single-payer healthcare is now! We need a Democratic Party who will actually fight for needs of working people, not listen to their pharma and health insurance donors.
Want to volunteer? We’re having some amazing events coming up! Sign Up: bit.ly/3PK8gqj We’re <90 days from the primary. Every postcard written, every door knocked, & every phone call made helps us create a gov't that works for all Californians, not the billionaires.
WE'RE LIVE! Come join night 2 of our campaign fundraiser over at twitch.tv/colinforcad51!
ATTN People's Republic of Santa Monica: Join me this Saturday, March 7th from 12pm to 3pm, for a Santa Monica canvass! Canvassing is one of the best ways to get out there and talk to folks about a better tomorrow. It's democracy in action. RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/santa...
We're live with my virtual campaign fundraiser! Come by and hang out. Feel free to ask questions and chat with me while I play Pokemon FireRed. twitch.tv/colinforcad51
Join me for my virtual campaign fundraiser on 3/4 & 3/5 starting at 6pm PT on twitch.tv/colinfocad51. This isn’t your typical fundraiser event. Don’t expect to pay $1k for a single ticket or me to host this big dinner party in a wine cave. This campaign is people powered.
Join me for virtual fundraiser for my campaign on 3/4 & 3/5 starting at 6pm on twitch.tv/colinforcad51. I will be playing Pokémon Fire Red. I don't accept corporate money. I rely heavily on individual donors. Help us create a vision of CA that works for us all, not the wealthy.
I was on CBS News LA to say that we’re are tired of our tax dollars going towards regime change and forever wars. We want our tax dollars to go towards healthcare, childcare, housing, education, infrastructure, etc — not to bombs that kill children abroad. Hands Off Iran!
Trump’s DOJ is trying to sue UCLA for the pro-Palestine protests that happened on campus during 2024. Antizionism isn’t antisemitism. This lawsuit and the one before it didn’t happen out of a vacuum. @asmrickzbur.bsky.social laid the groundwork for this to happen.
Last night, I spoke in front of @caworkingfamilies.bsky.social about the importance of making California affordable for working families. We need bold leadership in California, not more politicians who claim to stand for working families, but cozy up to corporate donors. colinforcalifornia.com
We're still in need of signatures. Help me get on the ballot during this June Primary! We will be holding a Petition Party at Hollywood's Tabula Rasa on January 31st from 2-5 pm. All you need to bring is a signing hand. Pens will be provided. RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/petit...
