STT#128 - Senator Holly Mitchell & Assemblymember Robert Rivas

Senator Holly Mitchell rejoins the program for a wide ranging discussion including COVID legislation, the California budget, Black Lives Matter, protesting and police reform and how her legislation is part of a broader effort to bring racial equity and justice to California. As the chair of the Budget and Fiscal Review Committee she discusses the challenges of creating a budget under unprecedented circumstances. Then she argues for the need to peel back the layers of systematic oppression, change policing and incarceration, and how SB 555 and 144 are a set in that direction.

At 39:31, we then have Assemblymember Robert Rivas of the 30th District on the show. He discusses growing up in a farm working household and community, the effects of COVID on his district and the challenges of reaching constituents in rural areas. Then he explains his priorities for this year's budget, especially protections for farmworkers and how Project Roomkey can help the housing crisis.
