WRITE OR CALL THE ASSEMBLY SUB-COMMITTEE THAT REVIEWS THEIR BUDGET by FRIDAY, APRIL 16th!!
Last year, your letters helped to save the California Commission on the Status of Women from being eliminated in the state budget. Once again, we must put out a call for help for the Commission. While the Governor includes funding for the Commission in his budget proposal, the Legislative Analyst’s Office has recommended that the Commission be eliminated and some legislators seek to abolish the Commission. We need your help to survive this latest threat!
The fate of the Commission’s budget will be addressed in the Assembly Budget Subcommittee on State Administration on April 20th. Each of you can help – please tell everyone you know to call or send letters to the Committee urging them to continue funding for the Commission on the Status of Women. Women and girls deserve a voice in California’s government!
Thanks so much to all of you for your continued support!!
Write a letter or pick up the phone, call your Legislators and register a “Yes I do support full funding of the budget of the Commission on the Status of Women” or “Please do not eliminate the Commission on the Status of Women.”
