1. Urge LA County to Take Action for Youth Experiencing Homelessness
This local action comes from the LA LGBT Center.
Last year, Los Angeles County voters took a historic step by approving a permanent sales tax to finally confront the homelessness crisis. Yet today—despite that mandate—the County is proposing severe cuts to homelessness services. Today we ask you to bring their attention to some of the most vulnerable unhoused people who will be impacted by these cuts: youth.
We are asking the County to identify $24 million to preserve essential services for youth experiencing homelessness before they finalize their budget this month. These cuts would be devastating under any circumstances, but they come at a moment of intensifying federal attacks on LGBTQ communities, gender-affirming care, and safety-net programs, making it even more critical that Los Angeles protect those who are most at risk.
LGBTQ+ youth will bear the brunt of these cuts. These are our neighbors who already face the steepest barriers to safety, housing, and survival. We cannot allow these services to be dismantled. Send a strong message to LA County right now: stand up for homeless youth and allocate this funding immediately.
Your voice is urgently needed. Act here!
2. Fight for Democracy – Help Pass the CVRA of 2026
URGE ASSEMBLY MEMBERS TO VOTE YES ON CVRA OF 2026
Democracy is under attack. From the recent U.S. Supreme Court Callais decision that severely weakened federal protections against racial vote dilution, to federal efforts to dismantle the landmark Voting Rights Act (VRA), to existing voting discrimination against communities of color in California, voting rights are facing a pivotal moment.
The California Voting Rights Act (CVRA) of 2026, authored by Senator Cervantes, is our opportunity to fight back, to protect voters of color, and to strengthen democracy.
- SB 1164 responds directly to the federal attacks on our voting rights by preventing voting discrimination, promoting fair participation, and expanding opportunities for communities of color to have a meaningful ability to elect candidates of choice.
- SB 1360 would enshrine in-language voting materials requirements of the federal VRA into California law. This is essential to protecting millions of limited-English voters as voting rights continue to be threatened.
In these unprecedented times when democracy is threatened, LWVC responds. We have an opportunity to ensure that California continues to lead the fight on protecting the right to vote, preventing voter discrimination and intimidation, and expanding language access protections.
Help us get the CVRA of 2026 across the finish line. Help us build a more fair and inclusive democracy. Ask your Assemblymember to vote YES on SB 1164 and SB 1360, the CVRA of 2026 Now! Act here!
3. Email Gov Newsom: Support the Truth in Disclosure Act
This state action comes from PICO.
PICO California proudly supports: The Truth in Disclosure Act (AB 2599): It will require large corporations to publicly disclose historical involvement in slavery-related transactions in a state database.
To pass this bill into law, we need the signature of Governor Newsom. Fill out the form to ask him to sign it NOW! Act here!
4. Support the Medicare at Home Act
This national action comes from Caring Across Generations.
For too many older adults and disabled people, getting care at home depends on whether they can afford it, whether their family can step in, or whether they qualify for Medicaid. About 8 million Medicare beneficiaries need home care today, but Medicare doesn’t cover it – leaving families to pay tens of thousands of dollars, leave work to provide care, or go without.
The Medicare at Home Act would change that. The bill would guarantee up to 20 hours per week of home care for Medicare beneficiaries who need it — helping older adults and people with disabilities live and age with dignity in their own homes and communities, while giving family caregivers the support they need.
We all will give or receive care at some point in our lives, and we need to build a future where everyone can get the care they need, where they want it.
Fill out this form to send a message to your representative and let them know: we need to pass the Medicare at Home Act.
5. 8 Million People Just Lost Health Care. Tell Congress to Fix It
This national action comes from Moms Rising.
Breaking news: 8 million people—more than the population of all but 13 states and close to the population of New York City—have lost their health insurance in the last year. Insurers expect even more people to drop ACA coverage before the year is out as millions of people have seen their health care premiums double or triple in recent months. These skyrocketing prices and coverage losses aren’t an accident—they’re a policy choice.
They happened because Republican leadership in Congress let the enhanced ACA premium tax credits expire, despite bipartisan support for keeping them. This came right on the heels of Republicans in Congress passing $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and the ACA in 2025—all to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. It was a budget-busting one-two punch to our wallets and our health care system.
Tell Congress to fix it! Add your name and tell Congress to immediately restore Medicaid funding and renew the ACA tax credits! Act here!
BONUS ACTION: Vote Yes on Prop 4 for Fairer Elections
This state action comes from the League of Women Voters of California.
Proposition 4 Changes the Way We Finance Election Campaigns. Proposition 4 repeals the current ban on public funding of campaigns, so any city, county, district, and the state itself can pass public funding systems as long as the systems meet specific requirements, including that they:
- Require that public-funding candidates must abide by expenditure limits and meet strict criteria to qualify.
- Prohibit the use of public funds to pay for legal defense or fines.
- Prohibit candidates that receive public funds from repaying personal loans with public funds, or repaying personal loans with private donations after the campaign ends.
- Prohibit public funding from discriminating based on party or against challengers in favor of incumbents.
- Triple the maximum fines for illegal foreign campaign contributions and expenditures, strengthening penalties for those who attempt to interfere in California’s elections.
More details can be found in the Proposition 4 two-pager.
