COVID-19 Resources
Take Action Now!
Federal funding is critical at this moment for Californians—and all states—to support state and local governments in ensuring that health care, education, transportation, first responders, and other services continue uninterrupted.
The economic gravity of the shortfall cannot be stressed enough; without further federal aid to state and local governments, California is projected to lose 688,200 private and public jobs by the end of 2021.
The recent resurgence of the virus only compounds the urgency and should dispel all complacency.
