Today we join @CAGovernor in recognizing CA's 175th Anniversary and the values that unite us all. #CALeg: The #CalEITC & #YCTC are two of the most effective tools to ensure that all children & families can thrive in the Golden State. Let's continue building on this legacy.

Today, I'm delivering to the Legislature the 2025 State of the State. On our state's 175th anniversary, Californians remain steadfast in defending our democracy. Powered by our indelible Golden State spirit, we'll continue to be brighter and more prosperous than ever.

During @CalFTB's recent meeting, our partner @UnitedWaysCA emphasized the need to strengthen #FreeTaxPrepPays investments. With federal budget cuts looming, we must ensure Californians can still access free tax prep assistance & claim critical anti-poverty credits.#CalEITC #YCTC

Lawmakers, including @AsmGreggHart, @QuirkSilvaCA, @AsmJesseGabriel, @AsmCoreyJackson made it clear at the hearing last week: H.R. 1 puts wealth above children & families. TY for your leadership! #CALeg must take action! Support Californians who are struggling to make ends meet.

#CALeg: About 3.4M Californians could lose health coverage due to cuts & changes in H.R. 1, & the Golden State is estimated to lose close to $30B in Medi-Cal funding. Add new #CTC exclusions, & families will struggle to meet their basic needs while local economies take a hit.

H.R. 1 strips low-income families from accessing the full federal #CTC & blocks 2.6M immigrant families from anti-poverty tax credits. As the costs of living in CA continues to rise, #CALeg must take action to support children and families. @EndChildPovCA

The Presidential administration's elimination of Direct File is an attack on families. #CALeg must strengthen investments in #FreeTaxPrepPays to ensure that all Californians have access to free state & federal tax filing services to claim anti-poverty tax credits. #CalEITC #YCTC

Trump actually thinks making it harder and more expensive to file your taxes is a WIN.

Congress just voted to: ❌Exclude 2.6 million children from receiving the Child Tax Credit ❌Eliminate food assistance ❌Gut health care for millions All to give tax breaks to the wealthy. We must push back & continue advocating for an equitable future for all—not just some.

Kids shouldn’t go hungry so that wealthy corporations and individuals can get another tax break. Families shouldn’t lose health care so corporations can boost profits. ✔️But that’s exactly what Congress just voted for.

Gov. Newsom & the Legislature have finalized the state budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26. The new budget will cut access to Medi-Cal for immigrants w/ an enrollment freeze & new monthly premiums. We are disappointed in the decision to make our immigrant communities more vulnerable.

Prosper California is deeply saddened that #AB397 & #AB398, bills that would have strengthened the proven anti-poverty tools #CalEITC and #YCTC (Young Child Tax Credit), did not pass Assembly Appropriations Committee today.

We’ll keep fighting to ensure California households and families have the tools they need to afford a roof over their head and food on the table, and to deliver relief to Californians who are worried about the soaring costs of food and utilities.

Thank you Assemblymember Ahrens for leading on the expansion of the #CalEITC and thank you to @AsmMarkGonzalez for leading on the expansion of the #YCTC. We look forward to working on this together in the future.

Poverty is a policy choice. State lawmakers can help Californians afford to pay the rent, put food on the table, and cover the rising costs of everyday basics by strengthening investments in anti-poverty tax credits. #CALeg: the #CalEITC and #YCTC are proven solutions.

An unfortunate truth: California has the nation’s highest poverty rate. #CALeg: As leaders of the world’s fourth largest economy, Californians are counting on you to strengthen proven solutions to help cover soaring costs. Vote YES on #AB397 and #AB398!
