This month, the #PellGrant turns 50! To celebrate, we’re asking Congress to reinvest in the program by committing to #DoublePell. Sign our birthday card to show your support for this important program! #UC4Pell #PellTurns50 https://t.co/TxAlNSldc2

CA is *not* immune to the extremist hate directed at LGBTQ people.

Last night, bigots rioted against LGBTQ people in Glendale.

A drag queen we honored in the Legislature was demonized.

A school district banned teaching of Harvey Milk.

We’re fighting for our lives everywhere.

[Senator Scott Wiener @Scott_Wiener]

We have ~a week until our state budget deadline. We do not yet have confirmation that the State will help transit systems avoid massive, devastating service cuts.

A huge coalition of labor, business, housing, transit & enviro orgs is asking the State to prevent this disaster.

[Senator Scott Wiener @Scott_Wiener]

🧵The CA public transit budget situation continues to be alarming

CA transit faces a fiscal cliff that, if not solved, will lead to devastating service cuts

Yet, the Governor’s budget proposal slashes transit funding & the proposal advancing in the Legislature is problematic ⬇️

[Senator Scott Wiener @Scott_Wiener]

The current budget proposal contains no solution for the impending transit fiscal cliff that’ll lead to huge service cuts.

Former Deputy Executive Officer at the CA Air Resources Board: “The State cannot meet its climate & air quality goals if transit falls into a death spiral.”

NEW: 100+ organizations urge Congress to make bold new investments in the #PellGrant program, with the goal of increasing the maximum Pell award to $13k. #DoublePell https://t.co/O1DaZjB1vo

PRESS RELEASE - Statment Regarding New Allegations of Serious Berkeley Police Department Misconduct

[UC Student Association @_UCSA]

The UC’s exploitation of grad student workers profoundly compromises the quality of undergraduate education. Their working conditions are our learning conditions. UCSA stands in solidarity with UAW 2865, UAW 5810, and SRU-UAW as they strike and demand living wages from the UC.
