Watch this briefing, then help

If you missed last week's APC member emergency briefing on California bill AB 1990, the full recording is now available to APC members (and only members).

The more urgent ask: we need resources, and we need them fast. AB 1990 cleared the Assembly without a single amendment, and a Senate hearing is set for June 22. The legal, advocacy, and coalition work required to stop or fix this bill before that hearing will cost between $100,000 and $125,000. The $1.3 million raised earlier this year was fully allocated to defeating similar bills in 10 other states. It worked. But it leaves us in a potential deficit on California with the clock running.

This is what APC’s Compounding Defense Fund is for. A contribution of $1,000, $5,000, or $10,000 makes a direct difference — funding the legal and regulatory work, the coalition efforts, and the rapid-response capacity to act before the Senate moves. If you've already given, please consider an additional amount. This fight came up fast — the next hearing is June 22 – and the window is short. Invest in the Defense Fund here.
