At these events, we will be passing out petitions for the California Democracy Act. This constitutional amendment would allow budgets and revenue bills to pass by a simple majority (for more info click here).

We will also provide information on Alberto Torrico’s Bill to tax oil extraction and use the money for higher ed (for more info, click here).
