Bills Moved to Assembly, Budget News, COVID-19 Sick Pay Grant
It’s Pride Month, and we are celebrating all the wonderful accomplishments, and contributions of the LGBTQ+ community in Senate District 33! From small business owners to community organizers, there are so many great LGBTQ+ leaders creating positive change in our communities. Join me in learning all about them and saying thank you for all they do!
At the Capitol, ten bills in my Legislative Package moved to the Assembly, we passed the Legislature’s Version of the Budget Act of 2023, and we recognized our Senate District 33 Nonprofit of the Year, the African American Cultural Center of Long Beach (AACCLB).
In the District, we had a great time connecting with everyone at our Legislative Brunch in Downtown Long Beach and at resource fairs held in South Gate and Florence Firestone. In Walnut Park our team had the opportunity to share with students about the Legislature and careers in public service. Lastly, we joined a recent press conference to advocate for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to designate the Exide area as a superfund site, which will bring critically-needed federal funds to the area for clean-up and remediation.
In our resource corner, learn about the new CA vs Hate Resource Line and Network to report acts of hate, get tips from CAL FIRE on how to prevent fires and injuries caused by fireworks, find out how to apply for state COVID-19 Sick Pay Grants for Nonprofits and explore how the state’s ScholarShare 529 program can help you start a savings plan for your child’s higher education.
