CARA and Assembly Member Schavio Introduce AJR 3
CARA and Assembly Member Schavio Introduce AJR 3
On Dec 4th, 2025, CARA and SEIU sponsored legislation was introduced at the Capitol during a press conference attended by our action team members. Hene Kelly and Diana Madoshi spoke about the need to protect the future of these programs from budget cuts. AJR 3 is a joint resolution gaining bipartisan support to send a message from the California legislature to Congress stating our state requires these programs and cuts will lead to life-threatening consequences for our citizens. Thanks to our labor, LTSS for All Coalition, Assemblymember Schavio, and our dedicated members for making this happen. Watch the full press conference here.
We’re asking local action teams to ask their state representatives to co-author or thank them for already adding their name. Our goal is to keep the conversation going until the floor vote.
