Our childhoods have unfolded in a California that is on fire.
We’ve lost school days. Our friends have lost homes. Our communities live in constant fear of destruction.

SACRAMENTO — California employers will be required to provide workers with five days of paid sick leave under legislation passed by the state Legislature on Wednesday, up from the current three-day requirement.
