We are outraged by Gavin Newsom's veto of the #HOMEAct, AB 1306 by Wendy Carrillo! The Governor's decision is cruel, callous, and cowardly. When policy-making is driven by vanity and crass ambition rather than sound judgment, all Californians suffer. Our full statement ⬇️

We’ve released a report with our partners. 🗳️“Breaking Barriers to the Ballot Box” explores language access in California elections and provides a roadmap to ensure that all voters, proficiency, can vote fairly and equally. Read: bit.ly/CALA2023

🚨 VICTORY FOR TENANTS! #SB567 the Homelessness Prevent Act by Senator María Elena Durazo has been signed into law by the Governor! This is what people power looks like! #HousingIsAHumanRight

We are deeply disappointed and saddened by Governor Gavin Newsom Gavin Newsom’s veto of SB 686 (Senator María Elena Durazo). With a swipe of the pen, he has upheld the unequal exclusion of hundreds of thousands of women of color and immigrant women from basic labor protections.

We are almost 1️⃣ week out from our 5 year anniversary celebration 🎉🎈 Along with the support of our wonderful community, this event would not be possible without our incredible sponsors!

Many of our families know intimately the effects of war, colonization & forced removal. We don't support Israel’s apartheid state even though Gavin Newsom offers unwavering support to Israel w/ a 1-day visit, while ignoring the loss of Palestinian lives. aapiforce-ef.org/statement-pale…

Richmond is out in force tonight as our city council votes on a resolution in solidarity with the Palestinian people. If passed, Richmond would be the first city to pass a Palestine solidarity measure.

More photos from the action at Mark DeSaulnier's office today! Thank you to Congressman DeSaulnier's district office staff Shanelle Scales-Preston for meeting with us -- we appreciate your responsiveness to your constituents and are looking to your leadership on this issue 🇵🇸🇵🇸

As Californians continue to take to the streets and fill the halls of government calling for ceasefire in Palestine, we also #VoteAsAFORCE this election year to demand change. We are sick of corporations that back conservative politicians. #CommunitiesOverCorporations

Our Valentine’s Day gram to Alex Padilla Senator Laphonza Butler: You betrayed us when you voted to send Israel $14.1 BILLION to fund genocide in Gaza. Where’s your love for Californians?

Access to housing is a racial justice issue. Gavin Newsom’s executive order to sweep encampments is political violence. #HousingIsAHumanRight apnews.com/article/califo…

Yesterday, APEN, along with other members of California Environmental Justice Alliance took to the California state capitol for #CEJACongreso2024!  Our members, including our Richmond youth, lobbied for #AB1866 #AB3233 and AGAINST #SB1420 to let our voices be heard and demand justice for our communities.

The answer is yes. In the last 3 years, Blackstone hiked rents at their San Diego properties at nearly TWICE market rate. These were some of the few remaining affordable housing units in SD- so when the rent gets too high, where do people go? The street. kpbs.org/news/living/20…

📢 @repyoungkim must stop Trump’s budget. We are mobilizing voters in District 40 (Orange County) to because they deserve to know how Trump’s federal budget will cut critical services like Medi-Cal to fund mass deportations while making tax cuts for the ultra-rich.
