  • The Garamendi Campaign: the Nation's #1 Grassroots Congressional Campaign
    December, 2012 Contents Garamendi Campaign 1 Calendar 2 Democratic Campaign in 2, 3 Yolo County Paid for by the Davis Democratic Club FPPC 745-850 FEC #35 C00491050 The Garamendi Campaign: The Nation’s #1 Grassroots Congressional Campaign By Andrew Kim, Deputy Campaign Manager Since the launch of our campaign back in January, the principal focus of Congressman John Gara- mendi’s campaign has always been 1) building strong community partnerships and 2) developing the best field operation in the nation. Congressman Garamendi stated back in January, “This election is not just about me. It’s about building a powerful Democratic base to ensure we are a beacon of progress in this newly drawn district.” Since then, we have established over 26 community partnerships – understanding that our partnerships must be grounded upon personal relationships and ser- vice. With our foundation grounded upon the community, our 2nd goal was simple: to have the best-organized field operation, encompassing the best practices of social justice nonprofits, service programs and, of course, the Obama Campaign. However, the key to our success was moving beyond our campaign’s dependency for volunteers but in the development of grass- roots-field programs designed for targeted community groups. Field Program Target Group: Total Participants: Team Leader Program College Students: +16 Student Ambassador Program High School Students: +78 Battleground Woodland Program Latino Students: +33 Battleground California Program College Students: + 43 Patti Garamendi, Bob Schelen, Campaign Committee Program College Students +9 Rep.

  • 2014 Environmental Justice Scorecard 2 Championing Solutions to the Environmental Health and Climate Change Issues Facing Working Class Communities of Color
    CEJA’s 2nd Environmental Justice Scorecard The California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) is proud to release our 2nd Environmental Justice Score- card for the 2014 Legislative Session. This scorecard is the only one in the state to assess how well California’s elected officials supported actions to address environmental issues that impact low-income communities and communities of color. Scorecard Methodology and Scoring We selected bills that CEJA as a coalition or our members publicly supported or opposed. We chose bills that were significant: they would either make important contributions to addressing environmental justice, or would enact policies detrimental to communities of color. In total, CEJA scored 13 bills. Senators were scored on a total of 11 bills and Assemblymembers on a total of 12 bills. Of the ten bills that made it to the Governor’s desk, he signed eight of them. Unfortunately, due to rule restrictions, Senate pro Tem De León was unable to cast his vote on a couple of measures included in our scorecard because he was engaged in helping to move other important measures on the Assembly floor, thus impacting his score. However, none of these bills were close votes and in both instances he had previously voted for the bills in committee. We believe his score would have been different if the Senate Rules had similar rules as the Assembly on such matters. About the California Environmental Justice Alliance The California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) is a statewide coalition of grassroots, environmental jus- tice organizations. We are working to achieve environmental justice by organizing in low-income communities and communities of color – those most impacted by environmental hazards – and by pushing for policies at the federal, state, regional and local levels that protect public health and the environment.

  • 2019 Small Business Scorecard
    2019 SMALL BUSINESS SCORECARD Introduction Elected officials everywhere tout their support of small businesses, but do they actually deliver? California is home to 4 million small and micro businesses, represented by 79 Assembly Members and 40 California State Senators. We decided to find out by looking at the voting records of California’s legislators when it comes to bills that affect the entrepreneurial ecosystem and the small businesses that it serves. CAMEO’s policy positions derive from our work with our 240+ members that support underserved small business with loans and entrepreneurial training. We weigh in on legislation that will help these small and microbusinesses and strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem. This first-ever scorecard for the 2019 legislative session looks at how the California Legislature performed in authoring, voting, and passing laws to promote and protect the interests of Calfiornia’s small and micro business owners. We compiled a narrow list of bills for the 2019 legislative session that we identified as important for micro and small businesses and/or the ecosystem that supports them. C A M E O N E T W O R K . O R G Examples include: AB 230 ensures Disabled Veterans Businesses are treated fairly in state contracts; AB 377 expands the cottage kitchen laws to include home cooked meals; AB 498 eliminates business license fees for veteran owned businesses; AB 857 will create a framework for public banking in California and expand community capital for locally owned businesses. We included committee votes, floor votes, authorships, co-sponsors and measured if a legislator voted in favor or against, as well as the No Vote Record (NVR).

    OPPOSE BUDGET CUTS TO OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY SERVICES Date of Call to Action: May 27, 2020 California Governor Newsom introduced the revised 2020-21 State Budget this past week which includes significant budget cuts across the board due to the resulting recession from the current State of Emergency. Additionally, California is anticipating an increase in individuals enrolled in the Medi-Cal healthcare system of up to two million persons. As such, the Governor has included a proposal to eliminate the coverage of adult occupational therapy services under Medi-Cal services. Other services being eliminated or modified in this proposal include dental services, audiology services, speech therapy, physical therapy, podiatric services, optometric and optician/optical lab services, diabetes prevention programs, and screening, brief intervention, referral to treatments for opioids and other drugs. OTAC strongly opposes this budget proposal and urges our members to take action now. These cuts may significantly reduce the access to covered occupational therapy services under the Medi-Cal healthcare system for adults of all ages at a time when access to essential healthcare services is imperative. It is vital that all members reach out to their own Assemblymember and Senator as well as the members on the Budget subcommittees listed below. Identify your personal Assemblymember and Senator at www.findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov and submit via their websites. If your Assemblymember and/or Senator is listed below, please note in your letter that you are their constituent. Please use the template letter provided here, filling in the italicized portions, and submit your letter using the links below. Please also copy OTAC at [email protected].
