Also environmental justice. For permitting deregulation advocates to say that frontline communities should be asked to sacrifice yet again for the sake of emissions reduction is just plain racist.

Polluting projects like data centers will be easier to build and cost taxpayers up to $100 million per year. EJ communities joined the NO campaign because California cannot weaken environmental protections while Trump is attacking them. 🚫 Vote NO on Prop 45 to protect public health from pollution.

Limiting 90% of budget spending for federally qualified partners to direct patient care sounds good but community health centers say it could force cuts to their outreach and prevention work for their vulnerable patients. 🚫 Vote NO on Prop 44 to allow community clinics to manage their own budgets!

It effectively ends revenue generation for cities and counties to improve parks, libraries and homeless services. 🚫 Vote NO on Prop 43 to allow raising special taxes with simple majority of voters!

Prop 3 makes the 2012 (and renewed in 2016) income tax on high earners permanent and applies to the top 2% wealthiest Californians. It generates an estimated $5–$15 billion per year for K-12 schools and community colleges. ✅ Vote YES on Prop 3 to protect school and community college funding!

This proposition expands the rainy day fund for state officials managing the budget during economic uncertainty so that budgetary downturns don’t impact public programs like education, food assistance programs and healthcare. ✅ Vote YES on Prop 2 to expand California’s rainy day fund!
