"Hey folks it’s been a day and I’m going to do something I don’t usually do and respond to some MAGA misinformation.
Elon Musk and right-wing agitators are intentionally misrepresenting my legislation, AB 2624, because they believe that people who have dedicated their careers to serving their community should be silenced and forced into the shadows.
So let’s talk about what my bill actually does. It would add immigrant service providers to the state’s Safe at Home program. This proven program already covers domestic violence victims, reproductive care, and gender-affirming care workers, among others.
People who work to help immigrant communities should not have to fear being doxxed for doing so.
And my bill and the safe at home program defines this as sharing personal information with the intent to incite imminent great bodily harm or place someone in objectively reasonable fear for their personal safety
AB 2624 extends this existing tool to immigrant service providers, shielding them from having their personal information publicly exposed and giving them real legal tools to prevent and respond to targeted harassment.
If MAGA can’t take the difference between journalism and doxxing, that’s on them.
Because under my bill, there are no provisions related to journalism or fraud. This bill does not infringe on the first amendment.
But sharing the name and address of a front desk worker to intimidate them out of doing their job isn’t reporting; it isn’t investigating fraud; it’s wrong, and California should hold firm on thetruth.
I’m going to continue advancing legislation rooted in East Bay values, no matter who tries to silence our voices.
Others can legislate by tweet, I’ll stick to the policy."
