Over 80 years after WWII, our local Rosie the Riveters continue to inspire us, including 103 year old June Beesley, who worked as a welder in Richmond at the age of 18. As America celebrates 250 years, we must preserve the stories of this essential part of our history.

$125 million in state funds will be allocated towards the acquisition of the former Golden Gate Fields site to convert it into the East Bay's newest waterfront park.

“This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reclaim 161 acres of East Bay waterfront for the public, and we are seizing it. With this $125 million investment, Golden Gate Fields can go from a shuttered racetrack to one of the great waterfront parks in California. For years, our community fought for a future where this land belongs to everyone—not behind fences, but open to families, cyclists, pedestrians and future generations. I’m proud to have championed that fight, and we’re not stopping until the vision is complete.”
