An excerpt from the Palo Alto online article about AB 2003 (Berman): “Too many communities across California have been devastated by youth suicides, including my hometown of Palo Alto,” said Berman, whose district includes Mountain View, Palo Alto and Menlo Park. “We must do everything we possibly can to prevent these tragedies.”
I introduced AB 2003, in partnership with the @californiacbh.bsky.social, to provide life-saving suicide prevention training to ensure our students, teachers, administrators, and parents have the tools necessary to support young people in need.

The headline from the Palo Alto online article on AB 2003: “Berman bill aims to enhance suicide prevention training at schools — education would be available to all students, teachers, parents”
We have lost too many young people to suicide in my district and across California. (1/3)
Amazing time at the Palo Alto Asian American Connection Lunar New Year celebration! It was great to bring in the year of the Fire Horse with such a large, diverse, and festive group! 🔥🐴

Great to join @governor.ca.gov and colleagues for the bill signing for a $590 million emergency loan to support Bay Area Transit agencies that will protect service for hundreds of thousands of transit riders, and get hundreds of thousands of cars off of the road every day.
Ramadan Mubarak
May this holy month bring renewal, reflection, and enlightenment. Ramadan Mubarak!

One of my favorite parts of my job is getting to occasionally be a tour guide for students visiting Sacramento from the district.
It was great to welcome the Latimer School from San Jose and show them their State Capitol! I am always impressed by our future leaders and their amazing questions!

Honored to be one of TURN’s 2025 Legislative Champions for my work to prevent IOUs like PG&E from using your hard earned money for political lobbying and PR campaigns.

Marc speaking to the San Mateo County Youth Commission Civic Cafe.
It was uplifting to talk to the San Mateo County Youth Commission Civic Cafe yesterday. Their concern for others and for our democracy, their moral clarity, and their insistence that we must do more to push back against those who abuse power was truly inspiring. The future is bright!
We recommit to the truth of this history - and to our responsibility to educate our children about it - so that we may confront the rising tide of antisemitism and hate and uphold dignity and justice for all. (2/2)
International Holocaust Remembrance Day
Today on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the memory of the six million Jewish people and the millions of others who were systematically murdered in the Holocaust. (1/2)
It was a beautiful community celebration, and I’m excited for Neysa to take on this critical role and lead the office with the fairness, professionalism, and deep sense of public service that have been the cornerstones of her life and career.

A wonderful and historic night celebrating the swearing in of Santa Clara County Assessor Neysa Fligor, the first woman of color and first mom elected to a countywide leadership position in Santa Clara County!
I had my first serious talk with my six month old boy, Kaiden, on our walk this afternoon. May he grow up to have the same courage and moral clarity that Renee Good and Alex Pretti had to protect the vulnerable and stand up to the abuses of the powerful.
He was tackled, beaten, disarmed, and executed. And the government immediately and shamelessly started lying about what our eyes can see and our ears can hear.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse. He is the second American citizen senselessly murdered by untrained, unneeded, unaccountable, unidentified government thugs who are terrorizing a U.S. city. He was legally monitoring government activity. He was legally carrying a firearm.
At a time when it can feel like our country is divided, today is a powerful reminder that service unites us. When we work side by side, labels fade away, and what remains is our shared humanity.

What an inspiring morning celebrating MLK Jr Day in San Jose with a tree planting with over 100 volunteers at Rainbow Park and volunteering at the community garden at Latimer School with dozens of students and parents. As MLK taught us, everyone can be great because everyone can serve.
Assemblymember Marc Berman and Senate President pro Tempore Monique Limón
She cares deeply about the institution, and how to empower her colleagues to get the most out of their different roles. And she's a deeply caring and thoughtful friend.
I am so very excited for her, for the legislature, and for California. (3/3)

Monique and I were elected together in 2016 and quickly became close friends. I've seen up close her ability to bring people together to cut through differences, get past emotions, and craft diffucult compromise. She is firm in her beliefs, but not dismissive of others. (2/3)
Senate President pro Tempore Monique Limón
Yesterday was one of the most special days in my 9+ years in the legislature, as I got to watch my dear friend Monique Limón get sworn in as the 50th President pro Tempore of the State Senate and the first mom and woman of color to hold the position. (1/3)
I’m excited for 2026, and grateful for the opportunity to continue representing you.
A Happy New Year image of fireworks
Wishing everyone in AD23 and across California a Happy New Year! While 2025 was a bit rough at times, I’m proud of the progress we made lowering utility bills, protecting consumers, strengthening worker rights, and improving our democracy.
Happy Kwanzaa
Wishing a meaningful and happy Kwanzaa to all celebrating in my district and throughout California. May your week be filled with connection, reflection, and celebration! 🕯️
Merry Christmas
Wishing a Merry Christmas to all who are celebrating. May your day be filled with joy, love, and kindness! 🎄
Happy Hanukkah
Today marks the first night of Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights that reminds us of the power of hope and the resilience of the Jewish community. Wishing you all a celebration filled with peace, light, and courage during what might feel like dark and scary times. 🕎✨
If leaders across the world don’t speak out unequivocally against the evils of antisemitism, I fear history will repeat itself.
