Measures I and J
San Jose – Evergreen Community College District Board of Trustees unanimously placed Measure I—the Career Training, Student Services and Affordability Measure—and Measure J—the College Transfer, Classroom Repair and Safety Measure—on the November 2020 ballot. If enacted, these measures will allow the District to maintain excellent, affordable education through the economic recovery. Learn more at YesOnIandJ.org. |
Prop 15
Prop 15 is a fair and balanced reform that:
Just 10% of California’s most expensive nonresidential commercial properties account for 92% of Prop 15’s loophole-closing revenues. Learn more at Yes15.org. |
Prop 16
In California, we believe in giving everyone, regardless of race or gender, an equal shot at fair wages, good jobs, and quality schools. But we’re not there yet. Women and people of color still face discrimination in hiring, employment, contracting, and education. California is one of only nine states that bans affirmative action as a tool to fight discrimination. Proposition 16 is our chance to change that by ending the ban and expanding opportunity for all.

SB 958/NextUp
Community Colleges: Support Services for Foster Youth
SB 958 will allow greater access to higher education for current and former foster youth by strengthening NextUp, an existing program for foster youth attending California’s community colleges. NextUp provides a comprehensive array of services to promote college retention and degree attainment. SB 958 will make common sense changes to address barriers, including modifying eligibility, creating flexibility around income requirements, and more. |

Philippine Human Rights Act (PHRA)
As a coalition of Filipino and Asian Pacific Islander organizations, we are calling for the Asian Pacific Islander Legislative Caucus members to denounce the recently passed Anti-Terror Bill in the Philippines and pass a resolution in support of the Philippine Human Rights Act.
As the COVID-19 pandemic has ravaged our community as well as the ongoing systemic racial violence, we see the Philippine Human Rights Act as a way to divest from arms sales that lead to mass human rights violations towards our loved ones, and instead, invest in governmental assistance and basic services for Black, Indigenous, and immigrant communities needed during this difficult time, such as PPEs, hazard pay, unemployment assistance, and COVID-19 testing. |
