Addressing the Fentanyl Crisis: What’s Being Done on the Peninsula?

Thu, Aug 31 2023, 12 - 1:30pm

Dear Friends,

There is no doubt that California is facing a deadly epidemic with fentanyl. In 2021, 5,961 Californians died from fentanyl overdose. That’s more than the estimated 4,258 people who died in auto accidents on California roads and more than double the 2,548 killed in homicides. 1 in 5 youth deaths involved fentanyl that year.

Virtual Town Hall: "The US Gun Violence Epidemic: What Can California Do?"

Wed, Apr 19 2023, 2 - 3:30pm

Dear Friends,

Gun violence is an epidemic in the United States. "Over 1 million Americans have been shot in the past decade," according to the Giffords Law Center, and it's getting worse. "In 2021, gun deaths reached their highest level in at least 40 years, with 48,830 deaths that year alone." This epidemic recently hit our districts when farmworkers in Half Moon Bay were shot in January, killing seven and injuring more. That's why we are hosting a joint virtual town hall on "The US Gun Violence Epidemic: What Can California Do?"

Virtual Town Hall: CalKIDS: California Kids Investment and Development Savings Program

Wed, Mar 29 2023, 12 - 1pm

Dear Friends,

Did you know research shows that children with small amounts of savings are more likely to attend college than children without savings whatsoever? That’s why over the past few years, the Governor and the Legislature have explored ways to promote household savings for families across the State of California. This led to the creation of an exciting new program called CalKIDS to help fund college savings accounts for millions of children.
