United Parents & Students

As California prepares to hold primaries to select candidates for the November elections, United Parents and Students has been busy motivating communities to go to the polls and let their voices be heard. bit.ly/3HB8ibS @UPAS_org

Thank you @Rendon63rd, @SenToniAtkins, @PhilTing, and @NancySkinnerCA for prioritizing this innovative, historic fund. 200+ organizations across CA stand with you. @CAgovernor will you join them?

Community based organizations, clinics, and tribal organizations know their communities best! They are closest to the challenges and solutions to advance #healthequity and #RacialJusticePackage

Systemic change comes with breaking the status quo. @CAGovernor will you include the innovative and historic Health Equity and Racial Justice Fund in your #CABudget and lead California and the nation in grassroots, community led solutions to our most pressing issues?

Extending the academic calendar will help our students impacted by the pandemic! Please support the superintendent’s plan! ​​edsource.org/updates/los-an… @DrGeorgeMcKenna @Monica4LA @ScottAtLAUSD

Coalition to @CAGovernor at yesterday’s rally in LA: Status quo proven ineffective. Deep, unjust impacts of #pandemic revealed long standing health/social inequities. #HERJFund would finally invest in local solutions that promote #HealthEquity & #RacialJustice. @UPAS_org

Supporters gather and rally to ask @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom to support the #HERJFund—happening now. Let's invest in #HealthEquity and #RacialJustice for all Californians!

For some families in Los Angeles, this school year has meant that they had to choose between paying for the internet or other basic household needs. Voters know we need #digitalequity now @latimes @howardblume @greatschoolsla latimes.com/california/sto…

There are no tenant protections currently in place against the Ellis Act, which is why we have seen Ellis evictions occurring even during the COVID eviction moratorium. Reform is needed to protect vulnerable tenants and our affordable housing stock. #PassAB854 @autumnrburke

@AsmMikeGipson @CAgovernor @drarambulaAD31 @JimWoodAD2 @asmakilahweber @BauerKahan @AsmMarcBerman @AsmRichardBloom @AsmMiaBonta @AsmEdChau @AsmJimCooper @AsmFrazier Thank you, @AsmMikeGipson! Funding for community determined solutions to address public health equity and racial justice are critical.

Today, I sent a letter with signatures of 24 of my colleagues urging the @CAgovernor to commit funding for the CA Health Equity & Racial Justice Fund. Full pandemic recovery will require #CA to invest in community organizations to promote health and justice! ✊🏾

About 1 in 5 Angelenos (~2 million ppl) don’t have internet service at home, mostly bc they can’t afford it. Tell @californiapuc that they should focus on connecting middle-mile infrastructure investments to last-mile projects. cc @net4allnow apps.cpuc.ca.gov/apex/f?p=401:6…
