We are proud of the way Californians have come together to persevere through this difficult time.



Unfortunately, recovering from COVID-19 will be difficult.. According to revised budget estimates, the pandemic has left California facing an estimated $54 BILLION deficit, which means the state may be forced to consider cutting funding to public schools and healthcare.







That's why it is essential that Schools & Communities First be a part of any recovery plan for California to invest in the essential services and workers that our communities have needed and will continue to need after the pandemic.



We're up against powerful special interests who would rather preserve tax breaks for the wealthiest corporations than invest in things we all value, like quality education for all students and a robust public health system!



We need your help -- will you RUSH a contribution today to help pass Schools & Communities First and get California on the road to recovery?













Thank you for continuing to support Schools & Communities First in our fight to protect the essential community services that keep our schools and public health systems funded!
