Hard lessons: What new California lawmakers learned in 2023 New members of the California Legislature count some victories in representing constituents, but criticize the process.

These programs do not have to be cut. If billionaires and wealthy corporations actually paid their fair share, we would have $70 BILLION more to put toward ending child poverty and homelessness

Some of California’s ‘cheapest’ cities have seen biggest rent hikes
Inland cities including Bakersfield, Fresno, Visalia and Riverside — once cheaper options than pricey places such as the Bay Area — are no longer places of refuge from California’s housing affordability crisis.

Some of California’s ‘cheapest’ cities have seen biggest rent hikes The lack of enough places for everyone to live has sent coastal rent prices inland, removing large swaths of previously cheaper rental units.

The University of California lashes out against organized labor, unlawfully punishes workers for protected union activity

This week, University of California Police arrested 3 workers on felony charges and confiscated their possessions for allegedly writing messages in chalk and washable paint calling on UC to stop underpaying workers. This is an attack on our fundamental democratic rights and the academic worker labor movement at large

As more Americans lose their homes to foreclosure and homelessness continues to rise, we urge Senator Richard Roth to vote YES on State Senate Bill (SB) 567 (Durazo), the . SB 567 will help to enforce The Tenant Protection Act, AB 1482 (Chiu), which was signed into law in 2019.

General Richard Roth Californians who rent their homes should have basic consumer protections but without avenues for enforcement, current state law can not help keep families stably housed, as intended. , with a growing budget deficit and economic uncertainty, SB 567 is a low-cost, high-impact solution that will help struggling Californians to stay in their homes.

More Californians are losing their homes as foreclosures across the state and U.S. rise While still below pre-pandemic levels, foreclosure activity has increased on an annual basis for 23 straight months.

I am extremely disappointed that the Biden Administration denied a petition to reduce the price of Xtandi.

As HELP Committee chairman, I will do everything I can to take make sure that drugs that are developed with U.S. taxpayer money are sold here at a reasonable price.
