Hey @Delta : my friend, who has had 70 flights this year & getting close to her 1 mill miles, was discriminated against by multiple flight attendants yesterday for her gender presentation. For a company who touts their #DEI and inclusivity this is unacceptable and needs action 🤬
🥰Did you hear?🙃
@MoniqueLimonCA is our #WCW for presenting #AB92 to the senate floor this week.
🥳AB92 has passed the senate & assembly!
It's now on its way to @GavinNewsom desk!
💙Let's remind @CAgovernor how important our #ChildCare family fee reform is to our families
As a former #caleg staffer, I support #AB1577. Many of the comments made today on why a Member is voting "no" just highlighted exactly why the bill is necessary. The "we should just be nicer" argument was particularly ironic. I believe in the right of all workers to unionize.
Families need safe, affordable, enriching care for their children at all ages. They benefit our economy, our communities and our nation. State investments while appreciated must address provider pay & affordability. @JoshBeckerSV@PeggyPizzo@ECECoalitionCA@BuildUpCA
“Infant care in a CA center averages $17,384 per year, 75% more than in-state public college tuition ($9,940).” @StrongNation_CA's newest report emphasizes the importance of affordable childcare programs for both children and parents. Read ⬇️: https://t.co/BwfGhRn9r4
We are so excited to see this important piece of legislation move on to Governor @GavinNewsom's desk for signature! ReadyNation members: we'll need your help to get it across the finish line! 💪
🆕 @StrongNation_CA report "Child Care & Afterschool: A Continuum of Care Supporting Two Generations in California" explains why high-quality child care and afterschool programs are an investment to CA's economy, public safety, and our nation’s security. https://t.co/2oiuIRuiyt
California's team got together for the first time discussing Q3 & Q4 planning! & of course, trying the infamous Zareens 😋 Welcome to CSA, Camille & McKenzie!
NEW: Just signed our budget. California will now be the first state in the nation to achieve universal access to healthcare coverage.
This is what being “pro-life” ACTUALLY looks like.
Congratulations to our Sr. Policy Associate @elmermmartinez on his graduation from @chamber_smc's 2022 Leadership Class. He's spent 9 months learning about our local community & leadership. We think he's ready to take on the world! (or at least the State w/our members) @skmasur
The pandemic has shown us the pitfalls of not paying living wages. We are losing providers faster than we can recruit. How can we expect providers to survive making below minimum wage with historic inflation levels? @CAGovernor childcare NEEDS you to #RaisetheRates4ChildCare
➡️Minimum wage has increased from $11 to $15 since 2018 but #ChildCare providers wages did not keep up.
We can no longer ignore this critical labor force‼️
@CAGovernor support the Legislature's plan & make our workforce whole with #dignity & #FairPay#RaiseTheRates4ChildCare
🚨Breaking #CALeg have released a joint budget agreement + proposed more than $1.3b in ongoing funds for #childcare rate increases! This level of support will help stabilize childcare centers and empower working families. Let's ensure it stays in the final budget, @GavinNewsom
Senate and Assembly leaders have a budget deal. The direct cash to Californians still differs from @GavinNewsom's proposals.
They want to give $200 per taxpayer and dependent with income up to $250k filing jointly. Newsom still wants to give $400 per car.
