Proud to stand today w/ Gavin Newsom Toni G. Atkins Robert Rivas & Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan & #CALeg members for the signing of CA's 2023-24 State Budget Act & infrastructure package. This year's budget protects the progress we've made in recent years to build a more equitable economy for all

This Infrastructure package and final #CABudget will #ProtectOurProgress and build the future California needs. From avoiding harmful cuts to prioritizing our environment and workforce equity, this legislation protects our state and all who call California home.

ICYMI: The #CABudget has been signed! Along with the 2023 Infrastructure package, it will help California reach our goals on on #ClimateChange, infrastructure, & more, and avoids harmful cuts to the services Californians depend on, like education & healthcare. #ProtectOurProgress

The #CABudget makes higher education more accessible, including funding debt-free public higher education for foster youth, who face more obstacles to going to college. These programs will help more CA students afford higher education & maintain CA’s economic competitiveness.

Childcare continues to be one of the highest costs facing California families with children. This year’s #CABudget subsidizes childcare for families struggling to make ends meet, which helps parents get back into the workforce and supports childcare providers. #ProtectOurProgress

Folks, This year #CALeg Gavin Newsom and California Legislative Women's Caucus - of which I am proud to chair - made funding for child care a top priority in the state budget. Learn more about our nation-leading efforts: sd09.senate.ca.gov/e-alert/meetin…

#OTD in 1965, #Medicare & #Medicaid were signed into law, making healthcare more widely available. In CA, we’re continuing that work. The #CABudget expands #MediCal eligibility, increases provider rates, & also reduces copays & removes deductibles for many people on Covered California

ICYMI: ‘Historic’ California child care deal slashes ‘family fees,’ promises rate overhaul. Here’s what it means for families and providers sandiegouniontribune.com/news/education…

California’s commitment to climate resilience is unwavering. Our #CABudget invests in #CleanEnergy and key programs that protect our state’s diverse environments. We will continue to lead the nation on #ClimatePolicy! #ProtectOurProgress

In a challenging fiscal year, the #CABudget avoids ongoing cuts to the critical programs that help support vulnerable populations and ensure that Californians’ basic needs are met. #ProtectOurProgress
