Today is the final day for the CA Legislature to introduce bills for consideration this year. We’re grateful to see AB/SB 105, which puts Prop 4 dollars to work. Thank you legislators, for prioritizing investments in CA’s future. These funds are essential to youth development, environmental restoration, and climate resilience. But we can’t stop here. We still have not seen a bill to reauthorize Cap-and-Trade. This critical program provides long-term funding that supports the work of the Local Conservation Corps, from wildfire prevention to recycling to creating real career pathways for underserved youth. For our corpsmembers, Cap-and-Trade isn’t just climate policy. It’s jobs, training, and hope. With only hours left, we urge you - @CAgovernor @ilike_mike & @CASpeakerRivas - to act. Put a Cap-and-Trade Reauthorization bill in print TODAY. #CALeg #CapAndTrade #ClimateAction #YouthJobs #Prop4 #CALCC #ConservationCorps

While the federal government rolls back critical climate policies and funding, California must keep moving forward. Our communities, our climate, and our Corpsmembers are counting on it. We are proud to be part of a state that has long set the national standard for bold, progressive climate action. Through your leadership, our Corps have built fire-safe communities, restored natural habitats, fought climate change on the frontlines, and given thousands of young Californians a pathway to serve and succeed. But now, with climate policy and funding under attack nationally, California’s leadership is more important than ever. @CAgovernor @ilike_mike & @CASpeakerRivas you must reauthorize Cap-and-Trade & appropriate Prop 4 funds NOW. We're counting on you. #GGRF #Prop4 #Climate #CAProud

What’s at stake if California’s leaders don’t reauthorize Cap-and-Trade and appropriate Prop 4 funds this year? Across the state, thousands of: - Corpsmembers will have less access to paid training, job placement, and safety net services (during a year when the unemployment rate for young adults is 10.25% - the highest it's ever been) - Acres of land will not be treated to prevent wildfires - Neighborhood-cooling and utility bill-reducing trees will not be planted - Pounds of trash will not be diverted from landfills - Miles of recreational trails will not be restored or developed … and the list goes on. We cannot take this risk. @CAgovernor @ilike_mike @CASpeakerRivas we're calling on you to TAKE ACTION NOW. We’re counting on you. #Prop4 #GGRF #Climate
