SACRAMENTO, CA – On Tuesday, the Assembly, Senate and Governor announced the Save For California’s Future Act — a constitutional amendment that strengthens the rainy day fund to better prepare for economic uncertainty and protect future generations of Californians. Through this act, California will help protect core programs and safeguard access to critical resources that millions rely on by increasing the cap on the state’s rainy day fund. California families understand and expect responsible financial planning — setting aside savings during the good times to prepare for unexpected challenges should they come. The state must continue to operate with the same fiscal prudence.

SACRAMENTO,CA - “The FCC’s decision is a retaliatory attack on AB 1303 that shows no respect for privacy and fails to help California’s most vulnerable residents. California Lifeline is funded by fees from telecom providers, not taxpayer dollars. Saying otherwise is false and misleading."

SACRAMENTO, CA – “Let’s be clear, referring to individuals as ‘illegal aliens’ is deeply offensive and dehumanizing. It has no place in discussions about public services. California’s Lifeline Program has existed for decades to help low-income residents, including seniors, students, and working families, afford basic phone service. It is a communications safety net, not a giveaway.
