Upcoming Floor Votes on Our Legislative Priorities

9/3 Update: These bills all passed! You can take action by asking the governor to sign them.

Updated 8/31

We are approaching final votes for our endorsed bills in the California legislature, and we need your help to get them passed. It will only take a few minutes of your time, but your calls and emails to legislators are critically important. You can choose to call or email your legislators. There is no need to do both, however calls are generally faster and more impactful. If you call and no one answers, leave a message. Remember that you should call your Assembly Member to support Senate Bills, and call your Senator to support Assembly Bills. Please complete this action as soon as possible because all bills must pass by the end of August. Here's what to do:

1. Go to https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/ and type in your address.

2. Click on your Assemblymember and Senator names- this will take you to their websites.

3. If you are emailing, click on "contact" to get a fillable form.

4. If you are calling, be sure to call the Sacramento office, which has a 916 area code.

5. Please note that all of these bills have been endorsed by the SFV and LA Chapters. The bills with an * are endorsed by the Climate Reality California Coalition.
