    April 8, 2021 The Honorable Toni Atkins The Honorable Anthony Rendon Senate Pro Tempore Assembly Speaker State Capitol State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 The Honorable Nancy Skinner The Honorable Phil Ting Chair, Senate Budget Committee Chair, Assembly Budget Committee State Capitol State Capitol Sacramento, CA 95814 Sacramento, CA 95814 Dear President Pro Tempore Atkins, Speaker Rendon and Budget Chairs Skinner and Ting, We appreciate your willingness to meet with us, and to continue your partnership with the mayors of our largest cities in finding pragmatic solutions to address our state’s homelessness crisis. Given the scale of the challenge we collectively face, and because of the extraordinary opportunity created by two unique circumstances--the passage of the American Rescue Plan and the state’s budget surplus--we write to revisit our prior budget request. As you know, we have long believed that the state must identify an ongoing, consistent allocation of flexible funding sufficient to meet the enormity of the challenge in our cities for affordable housing construction and supportive services. While our economic challenges make it difficult to identify an ongoing revenue source, the large amount of one-time funding presents a generational opportunity to make a dramatic move to address our homelessness crisis. That can be accomplished by setting aside a one-time allocation of $16 billion for a steady expenditure of $4 billion per year over the next four years. Through our partnership, we’ve accomplished much in our cities in recent years through such initiatives as Project Homekey, HHAP, and HEAP. We created permanent or transitional housing for our homeless at an average cost to the state of $148,000 per unit under Project Homekey, for instance, and we built prefabricated dorms, modular housing, tiny homes, and shelters even more cost-effectively with state and local dollars.

  • 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.

  • Lanterman Coalition
    LANTERMAN COALITION Assembly Member, Speaker Toni Atkins State Capitol, 219 Sacramento, CA 95814 Senator, Pro Tem Kevin De Leon State Capitol, 205 Sacramento, CA 95814 Re: Support for Developmental Services Funding and the Health Care Tax Reform Proposal Dear Assembly Member Atkins and Senator De Leon Re: On behalf of The Lanterman Coalition, a coalition of statewide associations and organization advocating for the preservation of the Lanterman Act we urge your support of the Health Care Tax Reform Proposal that will be coming to you for a vote. Typically, we would not be involved in urging any tax related legislation as we are not experts in taxation but we are experts in developmental services and we are painfully aware of the devastated condition of community services for people with developmental disabilities and their families. What we do know about the Health Care Tax Reform Proposal is that if a solution is not found for reforming the structure of this provider tax, health and human services programs will receive the brunt of the budget cuts that would result, as it is discretionary and developmental services historically receive the majority of those cuts. During this state of system collapse, developmental services cannot survive any share of a budget short fall that would exceed $1 billion. More importantly the administration has identified the Health Care Tax Reform Proposal as the source of funding to begin restoration of developmental services and since the system hasn’t seen a true rate increase since 2000 we desperately need this source of funding as soon as possible to stop the closures of important programs across the state.

  • Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012
    VERIZON POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS JANUARY – DECEMBER 2012 1 Verizon Political Contributions January – December 2012 A Message from Craig Silliman Verizon is affected by a wide variety of government policies ‐‐ from telecommunications regulation to taxation to health care and more ‐‐ that have an enormous impact on the business climate in which we operate. We owe it to our shareowners, employees and customers to advocate public policies that will enable us to compete fairly and freely in the marketplace. Political contributions are one way we support the democratic electoral process and participate in the policy dialogue. Our employees have established political action committees at the federal level and in 20 states. These political action committees (PACs) allow employees to pool their resources to support candidates for office who generally support the public policies our employees advocate. This report lists all PAC contributions, corporate political contributions, support for ballot initiatives and independent expenditures made by Verizon in 2012. The contribution process is overseen by the Corporate Governance and Policy Committee of our Board of Directors, which receives a comprehensive report and briefing on these activities at least annually. We intend to update this voluntary disclosure twice a year and publish it on our corporate website. We believe this transparency with respect to our political spending is in keeping with our commitment to good corporate governance and a further sign of our responsiveness to the interests of our shareowners.

  • [email protected] Melissa Melendez - Senator
    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].
