Local 38 Committee on Political Education (COPE) Endorsements NovemberLocal 3rd 38 General Committee Election on Political Education (COPE) Endorsements The following is a list of endorsements from your Local 38 Committee on Political Education (COPE) for the upcoming general election on November 3, 2020. The Local 38 COPE does not arrive at these endorsements easily or arbitrarily. The political positions of local, state and national politicians, as well as the impact of state and local ballot propositions, is vital to the future of Local 38 and our membership. Thus, we pay careful attention to the statements (public and private), campaign contributors and voting records of those running for office in our jurisdiction and where our membership lives. Whenever possible, we interview candidates personally, pressing them about issues important to Local 38 and organized labor. Where we can’t actually meet face-to-face, we rely on the recommendation of local, regional and statewide labor and building trades councils most of whom have interviewed local candidates about issues important to working families and their unions. Your COPE urges you to refer to this list when voting, and to support COPE backed candidates and measures. Prop . 15 . YES Prop . K .

For years, expanded learning (afterschool and summer) programs have played an essential role in providing social-emotional, academic, and other support services to students and families, especially in communities hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Last year, the expanded learning workforce was called to the frontlines to serve schools and communities in new ways – supervising children of essential workers and other vulnerable students while schools were closed, finding lost students and re-engaging families, delivering technology and distance learning resources, ensuring families are fed, and providing social-emotional and academic support virtually. As schools prepare to reopen, we appreciate the Legislature and Governor’s efforts to fast-track proposals for crucial expanded learning time and support.

  • California Council for Affordable Housing Annual Legislative Report October 1, 2020
    California Council for Affordable Housing Annual Legislative Report October 1, 2020 Prepared for Patrick Sabelhaus, Executive Director California Council for Affordable Housing Prepared by Political Solutions, LLC TO: Patrick Sabelhaus, Executive Director, California Council for Affordable Housing FROM: Tami Miller, Melissa Werner Political Solutions, LLC RE: 2020 Legislative Summary and 2021 Forecast DATE: October 1, 2020 Political Solutions, LLC enjoyed the opportunity to continue working with and representing the California Council for Affordable Housing (CCAH) this year. As CCAH is aware, 2020 was a very different legislative session, beleaguered by COVID-19, wildfires, and a tanked economy. However, as always, it is our honor and pleasure to work with CCAH, and we look forward to our combined success in 2021! GENERAL The second year of the 2019-2020 legislative session resumed in January with the Executive and Legislative branches setting aggressive policy goals. The enthusiasm behind these goals was also met with the state’s strong economic outlook. With more money to invest in state programs and infrastructure, both branches sought opportunities to close inequities and reinvest in the state and its people. The enthusiasm turned into concern as state leaders watched countries around the world respond to a dangerous virus that was viciously infecting and killing thousands. The virus, COVID-19, was shutting down economies and closing borders to mitigate transmission, and despite worldwide efforts to control the virus it was making its way to California. When COVID-19 reached our state, its impact on residents and the healthcare system was so severe local governments and the state ordered residents to stay home, non-essential businesses were closed, and mask mandates were issued.

  • 2021-2022 Legislative Session – Key Developments As of March 31
    2021-2022 Legislative Session – Key Developments as of March 31, 2021 Analysis by Jim Lindburg, Legislative Consultant The 2021-2022 Legislature convened in January, and could prove to be a truly historic legislative session. Policy committee hearings are now underway. The COVID-19 pandemic has illuminated the fault lines of poverty and the inequities of systemic racism. Addressing the disparate health and economic impacts of the COVID 19 pandemic on people of color and the undocumented as well as the systemic racism that underlie the justice system are prevalent themes in the current session. Some background is in order. (And of course, everyone is waiting to see whether an attempt to recall Gov. Newsom will qualify for the ballot and how that might shape the political dynamics in Sacramento, where Democrats hold supermajorities in both houses.) First, I want to take note of two historical developments. In January, Gov. Newsom appointed Assembly Member Shirley Weber to become California’s Secretary of State, the first African-American woman to hold that office. Earlier this month Gov. Newsom nominated Assembly Member Rob Bonta to become California’s Attorney General (the first Filipino-American to serve in that role), and he is expected to be confirmed by the Senate and the Assembly. Both Weber and Bonta have extensive track records for advancing social justice and tackling inequities in the justice system. In the Assembly, there are 58 Democrats, 1 independent and 19 Republicans. Two seats are currently vacant. A Special Primary Election will take place April 6 in Assembly District 54 (San Diego, Chula Vista) to fill the seat vacated by Weber.

  • 2021 NPY Press Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 23, 2021 Contact: Christina Dragonetti, CalNonprofits [email protected] or 415-926-0668 More Than 100 California State Legislators Recognize and Honor Nonprofits of the Year San Francisco, June 23, 2021 – Today, one hundred and nine California state legislators announced their selection of a “Nonprofit of the Year” in their district. The one hundred and thirteen honorees range from nonprofits in health and food banks to nonprofits in music and sports. This annual effort – in its sixth year – creates a way for legislators to recognize an exceptional nonprofit in their district. Assembly Concurrent Resolution 80 authored by Assemblymember Luz Rivas (D-San Fernando Valley), the chair of the Assembly Select Committee on the Nonprofit Sector joined by Senator Monique Limón (D-Santa Barbara), chair of the Senate Select Committee on the Nonprofit Sector, proclaims June 23rd as California Nonprofits Day this year. As the voice for California’s nonprofits and a statewide policy alliance of more than 10,000 organizations, the California Association of Nonprofits (CalNonprofits) has been pleased to work with both chairs and their committees to raise the profile of California’s nonprofit sector. “California nonprofits are a vital part of our economy,” said Assemblywoman Rivas. “The challenges of the past year have stressed how important nonprofits’ services are to our communities throughout the state. As someone who created and managed a nonprofit, I know how much passion, effort, and time it takes to run these essential organizations, even without the stresses of a global pandemic. I want to thank our nonprofits across the state for stepping up during a critical time of need.

  • Resolution in Support of the California HOME Act, SB 9
    Resolution in Support of the California HOME Act (Housing Opportunity & More Efficiency Act), S.B. 9 WHEREAS the County of Santa Clara, with one of the highest costs of living in the US and in the State of California, is in a severe and prolonged housing and affordability crisis, driven by years inadequate housing production; and WHEREAS the housing and affordability crisis continues to be a major source of stress on Santa Clara County and California’s fiscal health, social welfare, medical, and public safety systems, and places an unnecessary burden on our most vulnerable populations, while disproportionately harming low-income families, putting them at greater risk for housing instability and homelessness; and WHEREAS the most effective way to address these issues is to provide more homes, that are affordable to low- and moderate-income families; and WHEREAS housing is a human right and the need for housing stability provides the basis for educational, health, and economic outcomes; and THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Santa Clara County Democratic Central Committee supports the California HOME Act (Housing Opportunity & More Efficiency), S.B. 9, calling upon the Governor and the California Legislature to rectify California’s housing crisis, expand opportunities for existing homeowners to build equity, create new homeownership opportunities for those locked out of the market, allow for lot splits, and the legalization of duplexes; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be provided to Assemblymember Marc Berman, Assemblymember Ash Kalra, Assemblymember Alex Lee, Assemblymember Evan Low, Assemblymember Robert Rivas, Assemblymember Mark Stone, State Senator Josh Becker, State Senator Dave Cortese State Senator John Laird, State Senator Bob Wieckowski.

    April 7, 2021 The Honorable Alex Lee The Honorable Wendy Carrillo California State Assembly California State Assembly State Capitol, Room 2170 State Capitol, Room 4167 Sacramento, CA 94814 Sacramento, CA 95814 The Honorable Lorena Gonzalez The Honorable Miguel Santiago California State Assembly California State Assembly State Capitol, Room 2114 State Capitol, Room 6027 Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 SUBJECT: ACA 8 (LEE, CARRILLO, GONZALEZ, SANTIAGO) WEALTH TAX: APPROPRIATION LIMITS - OPPOSE/JOB KILLER – AS INTRODUCED MARCH 22, 2021 AND AB 310 (LEE, SANTIAGO, GONZALEZ) WEALTH TAX - OPPOSE/JOB KILLER – AS AMENDED APRIL 5, 2021 Dear Assemblymembers Lee, Carrillo, Gonzalez, and Santiago: The California Chamber of Commerce is OPPOSED to ACA 8 (Lee, Carrillo, Gonzalez, Santiago), as introduced on March 22, 2021 and AB 310 (Lee, Santiago, Gonzalez), as amended on April 5, 2021 as JOB KILLERS. Both proposals seek to raise taxes on the highest net worth earners in California, which will further encourage them to leave for states with less punitive tax systems. Additionally, ACA 8 proposes to eliminate the two-thirds vote requirement for classifying personal property for tax purposes by the Legislature, thus clearing the way for higher taxes in the future. As Governor Newsom aptly put it at the end of the 2020 legislative session, “In a global, mobile economy, now is not the time for the kind of state tax increases on income we saw proposed at the end of this legislative session and I will not sign such proposals into law.” These measures implicitly acknowledge that rates for existing California taxes have reached their practical or political maximums, and proponents now propose to devise an entirely new tax never before considered for our state.
