Dear Friends --

On Tuesday we told you about a major victory: AB 609, our bill with Asm. Buffy Wicks that will make it easier to build environmentally-beneficial housing in our cities, is now part of the budget deal with Governor Gavin Newsom!

The budget deal has to be approved in the next few days, and opponents are mounting a desperate, last ditch effort to try and undo this deal. They're trying to get Assemblymembers to reject AB 130, the trailer bill that includes the provisions of AB 609.

But there's a catch: if AB 130 doesn't pass, then local governments won’t get the money they need for housing and homeless services.

If AB 130 doesn’t pass, NIMBYs will still be able to weaponize CEQA to undermine the infill housing that is essential to tackling the climate crisis.

We can’t let that happen. We need your help right now to show Assemblymembers that Californians support this historic CEQA deal in the state budget – and want it to pass.

Will you call your Assemblymember and urge them to vote YES on AB 130?

MAKE THE CALL >>

Thank you so much for stepping up in this urgent moment.

Matthew
