Senator Anthony J. Portantino

La Cañada Flintridge, California – On Monday, October 19, 2020, at 7:00pm, State Senator Anthony Portantino, Congressman Adam Schiff, and Labor Secretary Julie Su will hold a virtual town hall to provide state and federal updates and answer constituent questions about coronavirus relief and recovery, the upcoming election, and more.

Having spent significant time in Artsakh over the past 5 years I have seen a peaceful people who have bravely lived under the threat of violence for three decades. The children and families I broke bread with deserve to fulfill the promise of their lives without bombs and border aggression threatening their futures.

Our churches and church facilities are peaceful places for communities to pray, congregate and support one another. They should not be subjected to arson, vandalism and hate crimes. My heart breaks for Very Reverend Father Smpad Saboundjian, the entire St. Gregory the Illuminator congregation and the greater Armenian American community for this unnecessary act of intimidation. I fully encourage the San Francisco Police Department’s investigation to swiftly determine the cause of the blaze and hold those responsible strictly accountable under the law.
