As this year winds down, we’d like to reflect on our victories in the #CALeg. 💪
We won five of our priority bills! Let’s talk about what each one means for Californians. 🧵
Also last year, we saw horrifying images of military weapons being used against journalists and people protesting police violence.
#AB481 stops short of a full ban, but it gives local govts (and therefore communities) a voice in whether police can procure military equipment.
HISTORIC! Today Governor @GavinNewsom signed #AB1177, the California Public Banking Option Act, which sets into motion the creation of the CalAccount program guaranteeing basic banking services to all Californians without fees or penalties.
BREAKING: After fast-food workers, elected officials, union members, and community allies rallied and organized the past year, @CA_Governor has officially signed #AB1177, creating a pathway to a fee-free public banking program for ALL Californians!
Thank you to @GavinNewsom for signing #AB481 this week, requiring local approval before police departments put weapons of war on our streets. And huge thanks to @DavidChiu for championing this bill—it's been a multi-year process!
The CA Public Banking Option is one signature away from becoming law. We're thankful for the support of over 230 racial justice, labor, economic empowerment, climate groups and elected officials, signing on to support #AB1177 to guarantee universal free banking for all.
Indivisible CA: StateStrong @CAStateStrong@IndivisibleEB have been strong advocates of the CA Public Banking Option Act. All 81 groups representing 80K activists endorsed #AB1177. Thank you for your help moving the bill forward in the Assembly and Senate. Onwards to victory!
