Mike Bonin, who heads the Pat Brown Institute for Public Affairs at Cal State L.A., said he thinks that Bass’ career of building multiracial, multiethnic coalitions makes her uniquely suited to the moment.

In an email statement, Courtney Carranza, director of communications and public affairs for Southern California Division at Albertsons, said: “We respect the rights of workers to engage in collective bargaining and remain committed to negotiating in good faith to reach an agreement that is fair to our employees, good for our customers, and allows our company to remain competitive.”

It would be a "win-win for both nature and the climate," added the trust's director of policy and public affairs, Joan Edwards.

Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin and Republican politicians who support Trump’s immigration actions have characterized the protests as riots intended to “keep rapists, murderers and other violent criminals loose on Los Angeles streets.”

“It’s a tightrope of how do we fight this, resist this, stand up and protect our people and not play right into their hands,” said former Los Angeles Councilman Mike Bonin, who is now the executive director of the Pat Brown Institute of Public Affairs at Cal State L.A., in an interview.
