November 8th Ballot Recommendations

“I’ve followed Hillary’s career for years. I remember decades ago when she fought for things like access to affordable health care and quality child care. Twenty years ago she wrote a book called It Takes a Village about how we all need to look out for children. And she is still making children her top priority.”—Betty Simmons, Child Care Provider from Colton

The state legislators we vote for make important decisions for California on issues that matter to us like access to Summer Unemployment Insurance, funding for education and pay for child care providers. After we elect these leaders, we hold them accountable with our lobby visits, phone calls and petitions—and our work has paid off. Our Summer Unemployment Insurance bill made it past the Assembly into the State Senate. In California’s 2016-17 budget, we continued to successfully fight off any state cuts to K-14 education. And Child Care Providers and other early educators just saw the largest new investment in recent history to early care and education, increasing rates and the number of spaces for children and families. “I’ve been on five Sacramento lobby trips for Summer Unemployment Insurance. This last time, I really felt like we had a lot more support. It’s important that we keep electing leaders who understand our dedication to students and who agree that we shouldn’t be denied this basic safety net.” —Bart Weil, Special Education Assistant, White Middle School
