I have amended AB1577 - allowing Legislative employees to collectively bargain. The bill will give our employees the right to unionize, a right that has been granted to employees in every other branch of govt. Listening to our workers’ voices will make the institution stronger 🧵

#AB1766 has passed Assembly Transportation and is now headed to the Judiciary committee. This is one step closer to every Californian obtaining an ID card

I am proud to have @JonesSawyerAD59 @AsmRobertRivas and @AsmMikeGipson as joint authors on this important piece of legislation

[Assemblymember Mark Stone @AsmMarkStone]

I introduced AB 1766 to expand CA ID eligibility to all Californians, regardless of immigration status. IDs are essential to employment, housing and social services. This bill removes one of the largest barriers to societal participation for undocumented people.

(1/5) 🧵 We are thrilled to announce today that College Ten—an undergraduate residential learning community founded on principles of social justice and community—will be named in honor of the late congressman and civil rights icon John R. Lewis. https://t.co/7KDffcgZRp

AB616 author @AsmMarkStone, said “I’m humbled that farm workers are taking upon themselves to make this sacrifice to support a bill that I had the honor of introducing and getting through the legislature. We, in the legislature, believe in creating greater access to voting.”

AB 424 is essential in protecting unrepresented borrowers from predatory debt collection lawsuits. These lawsuits trap borrowers under unaffordable debt for years and disproportionally burdens communities of color with mountains of debt

[Assemblymember Mark Stone @AsmMarkStone]

Great article on the Student Borrowers Bill of Rights that established standards for the student loan industry so that borrowers have the best chance to pay off their debts. I authored AB 424 this year to build on those protections and bring further accountability to the industry

[Capitol Alert @CapitolAlert]

California has a new ‘student loan bill of rights.’ Here’s how it will help borrowers https://t.co/TsDeUhIhAS

#AB503 has passed the Assembly Floor and now heads to the Senate

[Assemblymember Mark Stone @AsmMarkStone]

Data shows a lack of accountability when it comes to making decisions and reviewing the needs of CA youth on probation. #AB503 helps correct these systemic flaws and protect our young people by individually tailoring terms and conditions to meet their needs. #EndEndlessProbation

[Assemblymember Mark Stone @AsmMarkStone]

@MoniqueLimonCA @LorenaSGonzalez No need. We've got that covered @ucsantacruz

[Assemblymember Mark Stone @AsmMarkStone]

I am proud to introduce #AB616, which will support California farmworkers as they exercise their longstanding right to vote in union elections. #AB616 will make it easier for farmworkers to vote by allowing them to vote by mail, or dropping off a representation ballot card

This new report exposes some of the glaring inequities in California’s Penal Code and shows us a pathway to reform a system that has focused on punishment for far too long. https://t.co/eUHM5Z0a9M

[Assemblymember Mark Stone @AsmMarkStone]

Since the onset of the pandemic, modified programming has severely limited the ability of incarcerated people to earn credits. That is why I am proud to have introduced #AB292 which will help to overcome some of these shortfalls
