Dearest Friends and Allies,
Great news – Governor Jerry Brown just signed SB 202, legislation that will make the initiative process more democratic and help ensure that the budget reflects our state’s priorities.
We can’t thank you enough for speaking up in support of this important legislation. Your advocacy made all the difference for the millions of people who are already struggling to make ends meet. You helped to empower our state’s voters and protect Californians from further needless budget cuts.
With this new law initiatives will now be placed on the ballot of the November general election, a time of greater voter turnout. This will allow great participation and engagement on far-reaching decisions that affect our families, schools, essential public program, and businesses.
This law will also wisely postpone a vote on the creation of a “rainy day” fund in California, a proposal that is unrealistic at a time when we are dealing with a wall of debt and our public programs are facing devastating cuts. We can’t afford to further shackle our state’s ability to balance our priorities.
If you have a moment, tweet your thanks to the Governor for signing SB 202. We suggest:
@JerryBrownGov thx for signing SB 202! We stand w/ you to empower CA voters, postpone the spending cap. #cabudget
Again, thank you for your help in bringing SB 202 across the finish line. Together, we can accomplish great change.
