We have just released our Initial Comments on the Governor’s #CABudget May Revise. lao.ca.gov/Publications/D… (1/7)

We're in Sacramento today to reject cuts to child care access in @cagovernor's #CABudget proposal!

#CALeg say:
❌ NO to freezes to child care spaces for families
❌ NO cuts to #CalWorks
✅ YES to paying providers for the true cost of child care

Thanks to Sharon Quirk-Silva’s staff for meeting with us on #MakePollutersPay lobby day! We must eliminate all wasteful spending on oil and gas subsidies in the #CABudget to help save critical climate investments.

NEW: CA is now projected to have $10.3 billion more than we projected in our #CABudget .

That’s more support for our small businesses, vaccine administration, schools, and more.

#CALeg : Climate #CABudget cuts & delays neglect actions needed now. Protect our communities & kids from extreme heat, drought, wildfires & pollution. Give us a choice on a strong & equitable #ClimateBondNow ! The science is clear & the world is watching! bit.ly/3PLPlc3

Yesterday during Asm Sub 1 on Health, Assemblymember Jim Wood warned #CALeg what’s at stake with Gavin Newsom’s #CABudget proposal to eliminate $300M in Future of Public Health funding, asking DOF “Do you feel comfortable that we will be ready to respond to the next pandemic” w/these cuts?🧵

ALERT 🚨: The Legislative Analyst says state budget deficit is actually $55B which is far more than $27B what Governor Gavin Newsom announced last Friday. Gavin needs to do penance with the Pope while he is at the Vatican. #cabudget #CAGov #caleg

Love the energy Yesenia Jimenez brought to the #HandsOff #CABudget rally in #Sacramento today!

Fair budget NOW!

Closing prisons is the only way to substantially reduce state corrections spending. CA can safely close up to 5 prisons, which would save around $1 billion per year to invest in people and essential programs that can end the root causes of harm and crime. #CABudget #CALeg

Thank you for meeting with us @Dr. Joaquin Arambula & Becky Silva with @CaFoodBanks! We truly appreciate the discussions taking place to help continue nourishing our neighbors facing hunger! #CALeg #CABudget #CapitolActionDay
