Budget cuts #CaBudget

Assembly Budget Subcommittee 5 meets today to discuss Tax and Fee Administration in the #CABudget ! We'll be there to urge #CALeg : to continue investing in Californians with low incomes by protecting & strengthening investments in #CalEITC , #YCTC , & free tax prep. #FreeTaxPrepPays

💙On Wednesday, Parent Voices SF went straight from a local budget action in #SanFrancisco to #Sacramento to provide public comment for the CA Assembly's #CABudget hearing on #ChildCare .

💪🏾That's DEDICATION, y'all! #ParentPower #NoStoppingUs

This is what brutally honest, passionate leadership looks like!

TY Senator Caroline Menjivar - your #LivedExperience bears powerful testimony to the California values that must be upheld in the #CaBudget !

We stand with CWDA SEIU California & partners across #CA against these cuts!

We're still feeling the energy from #ImmigrantDay2024 ! We had a delegation of 35 members, partners & students travel to Sac to advocate for policies that protect #immigrantrights . We also asked state reps to protect $15.2M in the #CAbudget for immigration legal services programs.

Productive conversations in Sacramento about Los Angeles Unified #CAbudget priorities, including maintaining funding for vital student services and supporting attendance and academic recovery. Miguel Santiago AsmDavidAlvarez Assemblywoman Blanca Pacheco Sharon Quirk-Silva

Powerful reminder that when we say the #CABudget is about our values & priorities, we actually have to mean it — and follow through. Otherwise, it's just empty words. #CALeg

It's been 9 days since DOF outlined, at a high level, their plan to freeze certain #CABudget funds. But there's been a frustrating lack of transparency around *which funds* will be frozen. Does DOF plan to publish a list, or do Californians need to hunt down the data? #CALeg

The 2024-25 #CABudget proposes to eliminate the Family Urgent Response System. Take action now to make sure FURS continues to keep children and youth who have spent time in foster care in stable family homes – sign on at childrennow.org/blog/2024-furs….

As state leaders consider ways to make progress for Californians in a tough #CAbudget year, let's make sure changes to CalWORKs are helping, not hurting, families

CalWORKs Association leader Joy Perrin tells Sharon Quirk-Silva:

#CalWORKs grants aren't enough to survive!
#CaBudget cuts to #FamilyStabilization would stopped me and my girls from leaving #homelessness and me from going to college.

We call on California Governor & #CaLeg : stop the #DoubleCut !
