Dear Neighbor,
Dear Friend,
On June 24, 2022, the United States Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to overturn Roe v Wade, which stood since 1973 and generally protected a woman's right to have an abortion. The overturning means each state can create their own laws related to abortion, and many states are expected to outlaw or severely restrict abortion access.
Dear Friend,
June 3rd is National Gun Violence Awareness Day. California is among the states with the lowest rate of gun violence. In light of the shootings in Uvalde, Buffalo, California's own Laguna Woods, and countless others, we say "enough is enough" and reaffirm that there is no level of gun violence that is acceptable.
In the last decade, the Assembly has passed nearly 100 laws aimed at reducing gun violence and these efforts have kept us consistently below the national average in terms of gun death.
We can do better.
