📣Whoop Whoop!

🥳We in the house people!

❤️Reimagine #CalWORKs ! Make it family-centered! #CABudget #ForwardTogether

The #caleg spent 1 hour talking about a third of a TRILLION dollar #cabudget . We're told that negotiations continue behind closed doors to fix a massive hole & when we need to know what's going on, they'll let us know.

And subcommittee hearings, as someone who's spent thousands…

Grateful for the opportunity to join a great panel on the very concerning cuts to CalWORKs. #CAbudget

Thank you Senator Caroline Menjivar for your leadership in protecting this vital program!

Jessica Bartholow (she/her) on the #CABudget : we learned from the #GreatRecession that #austerity is failed policy. Community should and must still tell the #CAleg & Governor what their needs are, and #revenues like tax credits to wealthy #corporations should be on the table, too. 🔥🔥🔥

Excited to join KQED's Political Breakdown w/ Scott Shafer & Guy Marzorati 💯. Tune in at 6:30 p.m. PST here: kqed.org/podcasts/polit…

I’ll be talking about growing up in #NorCal , the #caleg #cabudget , recent #MinimumWage victories & why I’m excited to join @seiu SEIU California.

I am proud to be partnering with CARECEN LA this year to help them understand the budget process this year as the Governor is proposing to cut immigration legal services that keep families together.

Live view of the #cabudget debates.

For folks trying to wrap their heads around the complex 'early action' #CABudget deal announced on April 4:

The bill passed by the #CALeg yesterday (AB 106) contains $1.6B — *not* $17B — in budget 'solutions.' The $1.6B figure is a subset of the total $17B early action package.

🔥Rare to see strong, bipartisan support for CA's safety net programs & we are HERE FOR IT at the State Capitol!

Let California Governor know: hands off our kids & families!

CA already funds its public schools at an abysmal level compared to the rest of the country & has the largest class sizes. Totally unacceptable considering the wealth here & that CA has a Dem supermajority at all levels of state govt...

Thanks to Lindsey Holden of The Sacramento Bee for this comprehensive overview of the early-action #CABudget deal -- and for including California Budget & Policy Center in the story.

It's simply not credible to criticize the choices made in the early action #CABudget deal — as GOP lawmakers have done — without publicly advancing concrete alternative proposals to address the budget gap. What is their plan? What hard choices would they make? Crickets. #CALeg

The Governor's proposal to fully eliminate programs within CalWORKs threatens to upend the progress made in supporting CalWORKs families. 

Vulnerable families, already grappling with systemic barriers, will bear the brunt of these cuts, says Monica Saucedo at Asm #CABudget hearing
