CA is *not* immune to the extremist hate directed at LGBTQ people. Last night, bigots rioted against LGBTQ people in Glendale. A drag queen we honored in the Legislature was demonized. A school district banned teaching of Harvey Milk. We’re fighting for our lives everywhere.

We have ~a week until our state budget deadline. We do not yet have confirmation that the State will help transit systems avoid massive, devastating service cuts. A huge coalition of labor, business, housing, transit & enviro orgs is asking the State to prevent this disaster.

🧵The CA public transit budget situation continues to be alarming CA transit faces a fiscal cliff that, if not solved, will lead to devastating service cuts Yet, the Governor’s budget proposal slashes transit funding & the proposal advancing in the Legislature is problematic ⬇️

The current budget proposal contains no solution for the impending transit fiscal cliff that’ll lead to huge service cuts. Former Deputy Executive Officer at the CA Air Resources Board: “The State cannot meet its climate & air quality goals if transit falls into a death spiral.”

The UC’s exploitation of grad student workers profoundly compromises the quality of undergraduate education. Their working conditions are our learning conditions. UCSA stands in solidarity with UAW 2865, UAW 5810, and SRU-UAW as they strike and demand living wages from the UC.
