The #CAbudget showcases our collective values, and the governor’s proposal does not meet the moment.
At a time of rising affordability pressures and brutal federal attacks, California should be doing more to protect families and combat affordability challenges.

“Millions of people are about to lose their healthcare,” said our executive director @ChrisWHoene.
“So our critique of the @CAgovernor's budget is that it doesn’t really make any effort in that area.” #CABudget
