Between federal and state sources, more than $20 billion will help California public schools to enable safe reopening. It's long past time for our local school boards to #ReopenSchools for our kids--particularly for our children who struggle the most. https://t.co/ZIFMkXnltq — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI: We proposed the creation of a #ResilienceCorps to employ young adults w/ living wages at jobs w/ our NPO partners making SJ more resilient to COVID & climate change. Young adults suffer unemployment at 2x the national rate. They don't want a handout; they want a paycheck. https://t.co/g7dKjP6RFh — PolitiTweet.org

My budget message outlines a spending blueprint for the fiscal challenges we face in the aftermath of COVID-19. The framework focuses on an equitable recovery & resilience investment. We will need all of our collective focus + strength to to overcome this pandemic together. — PolitiTweet.org

@odraccils @tejera_liliana That’s false — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@odraccils @tejera_liliana Whatever the expense, it’s a bargain compared to the cost of not housing and not employing unhoused residents. And drug treatment or mental health assistance will do nothing for a client who still lives under a bridge — PolitiTweet.org

@downsjm @FlySJC We’re working on what I hope will be an exciting hydrogen pilot now — PolitiTweet.org

Today, we approved a refinancing of bonds that will save our struggling @FlySJC airport $136 million, & we halted all direct City investment in #FossilFuel companies. #WeAreSanJose — PolitiTweet.org

Tonight, I’ll provide an overview of my March budget message for this next fiscal year (https://t.co/u2NJ7R8bpD). As we emerge from the pandemic, my budget proposal will focus our scarce resources on supporting an equitable recovery for all of San José. https://t.co/pG7i6TGGO0 — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #InternationalWomensDay. Today & every day, we celebrate the extraordinary lives, achievements, & contributions of all the trailblazing women who carved the path for others to follow. May we continue to support + empower the women in our lives as they break barriers. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm joined by @chappiejones, @MattMahanSJ, @CM_Magdalena & partners to announce my proposal for a Resilience Corps, creating jobs for young adults in low-income neighborhoods to boost our communities resilience to pandemic + climate change & econ recovery. https://t.co/7W0s0jlPyO — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

I'm joined by Vice Mayor @chappiejones, CM @MattMahanSJ, @CM_Magdalena, @raulperalez1, & partners to announce my proposal to create a Resilience Corps. The Resilience Corps will create employment for young adults in low-income neighborhoods. https://t.co/YvKuOoxMDm — PolitiTweet.org

@SonaliVaid @ManelWatchUS @svbizjournal @Isabelwilkerson Happy to do so. — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@ManelWatchUS @svbizjournal @GenderAvenger We have been told that a prominent woman of color will be added to the panel. I’ll allow the publication/host to make that announcement — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@ManelWatchUS @svbizjournal That’s not feasible for large-city mayors—they typically try to nail down our appearance/ scheduling before they go to the others — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@chokingsounds unhoused residents cleaning around encampments are paid by city to clean up under direction of @GoodwillIntl and @DowntownStreets in a program. Those portapotties and washing stations you see are provided by the city as well, and we’ve perm housed > 1700 unhoused in last year — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@tejera_liliana We have two very successful pilot programs underway that have removed tens of tons of trash, and moved two dozen unhoused people into jobs with other employers. I am pushing to expand those pilots now — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@ManelWatchUS @svbizjournal Good question—i didn’t know who would be on the panel when they asked me to speak. I’ll find out. — PolitiTweet.org

@HaroldHughes16 I don’t. The data does. It’s a glaring gap, and I can’t ignore it — PolitiTweet.org

Sam Liccardo @sliccardo

@lookalizard @BWheatleySJUSD @SJTAPres @SanJoseUnified Actually, have been pushing for several months—I wrote this op-ed to urge state action five months ago, and we led 11 large city mayors to sign a public letter to the state since. https://t.co/oxtPdRDAP1 — PolitiTweet.org

Today I joined #SiliconValleyStrong volunteers to clean up trash & blight in our city. Join the movement & help improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods.

@TinkerB94904544 The article is conflating apples (FBI UCR rates for the largest US cities m) w/ oranges— (a 2019 link to a report that merely rankings of cities of all sizes.)

I'm thankful for the collaboration between @StanfordMed, the @CityofSanJose, & @SCCgov for working together to vaccinate our underserved neighborhoods. This mass vaccination site will help address the stark disparities in vax rates in East SJ. https://t.co/jBrvVeoKGV — PolitiTweet.org

For today's update, I'll focus on volunteer opportunities in SJ. Join me in upcoming #BeautifySJ events to clean up our streets, parks & creeks (https://t.co/5KcDKFZhbz) or w/ vaccination outreach to provide vax info to residents (https://t.co/phzpZYpWfP). https://t.co/GneYmdUXmr — PolitiTweet.org
