Hands Off! No Cuts! No Delays! IMAGINE 2024 Rally is Happening Next Week 5/15!

On Wednesday, May 15th, End Child Poverty California and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) California will be co-hosting the 2024 IMAGINE Rally at the State Capitol. We are gathering to stop the CalWORKs double cut, fulfill child care rate reform and slots, ensure foster youth are stable and secure, protect the workers who provide vital public services!

The day will start with hearing from our community leaders in action, from the Dolores Huerta Foundation, Project SPARC, California Youth Connection, Mission Economic Development Agency (MEDA), Hayward Promise, Lideres Campesinas, and SEIU CA along with Assemblymembers Corey Jackson & Issac Bryan. Attendees will also have the opportunity to have advocacy visits with legislative leaders and their staff!

California needs a fair budget now, and the best way to get there is to protect those who need it most. Latine and Black families disproportionally experience poverty in California. Thirteen percent of California children are experiencing poverty and 76 % of California families are experiencing poverty with at least one working adult. We can IMAGINE a future where all our children are nourished, respected, secure, valued and free.

Please register here to attend and we will see you soon!
