I had spoken at least a few times remotely due to Covid restrictions but today makes the first in-person advocacy I did in front of the Vallejo City Council. I’m pleased to be working with LGBTQ Minus Tobacco in fighting for Vallejo to adopt a Smokefree Multi-Unit Housing Ordinance like our Solano County neighbor to the East, Benicia, and many other San Francisco Bay Area jurisdictions already have.

I find it particularly interesting that I accidentally shot the “No Smoking” decal on the door when I took this selfie, without even realizing it. I have the video of my speech available and had my daughter watch it. She and my husband were very proud. I’m sure I’ll be back to speak at City Council regularly, but so hoping this ordinance passes for the betterment of my city.
