Friends,

These unprecedented times call for unprecedented unity.

Today, we launch a powerful #ChooseUsNotBillionaires Week of Action ([link removed]) to demand that Governor Newsom and California elected officials ensure a just economic recovery that reverses historical inequities and invests in a future that benefits all Californians. They just have until August 31st to make critical decisions regarding California’s response to harm of the pandemic.

Over the last several months, many of our organizations – community groups, unions, policy groups and philanthropy – have been meeting to strategize about how to unite and go on offense against the narrative of austerity so that we can advance transformative solutions that center Black and Brown people and allow our communities to thrive.

We are asking fellow economic, racial and social justice organizations/leaders to raise your voices with us over the next week, starting TODAY – Friday, July 31st. We’ve designed the week and the activities so that there’s something that everyone can do.

Can you do one or all of the following?

* Use the Social Media Toolkit ([link removed]) to post and share the content for each day.

* Make a call, send an email and spread the word (Use this link ([link removed]) to call your legislator.)

* Join on-the-ground actions (like our Monday morning rally at the LA Chamber of Commerce ([link removed]) to to demand a safe, scientific, racially just and fully funded approach to reopening schools!)


Whatever you can do, it will add up and make a difference.
In Solidarity,
