Taking the Plunge
In the fall of 2022, Sachi Cunningham, Amber Cady and a few friends were enjoying a rare hot day in San Francisco’s Outer Sunset District and an impromptu cold plunge in the ocean.

Assembly: Phil Ting
It has been a trying few years for our Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) neighbors. The pandemic not only escalated a rise in Asian hate, but it also exacerbated mental health struggles. Leaders like myself became painfully aware of the lack of resources available to AAPI communities – from keeping our seniors safe to providing emotional support that could help people in crisis.

You might avoid criticism by saying nothing, doing nothing and being nothing.
