Newsom to sign key legislation and voting for transformative ballot measures in the upcoming 2024 election.

    The Laws on the Books are not the Laws on the Fields: A Case for National Heat Regulations

    The UFW has been instrumental in passing laws, securing protections for farm workers, and advocating for immigration reform, but there is still much work to be done, and fast, due to the severity of the climate crisis. Year after year, increased temperatures and natural disasters have proven fatal for farm workers – even in California, where we have some of the strictest labor laws. So why are advocates pushing for a national response, especially if California’s laws would remain strong...

    School District Fights Back Against the Right’s Attacks on the LGBTQ+ Community

    School districts nationwide, including here in California, have been up against right-wing activists who have been pushing back against the LGBTQ+ community in education. While this is nothing new, in recent years there has been an uptick in activists pushing misinformation, strategically electing right-wing leaders to school boards, and passing discriminatory policies in our schools. San Bernardino City Unified School District board member, Abigail Medina, joins Angela Chavez, communic...

    Climate Change: New Polling Shows California Voters Demand Environmental Accountability, Action and Investments NOW

    Californians overwhelmingly care about the environment and climate change. Courage California’s newly released polling provides us with a better understanding as to what exactly this means to our state’s diverse communities – how Californians view it, are impacted by it, who they believe is responsible for it – and what this means for the future of environmental racism and justice. According to the poll, communities that are overburdened by climate change contributing industries, are no...

James Herard, executive director of Lift Up Contra Costa, joins Angela Chavez, communications director at Courage California, ...
