🚨URGENT ACTION ALERT🚨

OUR STUDENTS. OUR SCHOOLS. OUR FUTURE.

LET'S PROTECT PROP 98.

06/16/2026

Governor Newsom has proposed to withhold Prop 98 funds from public schools, something that violates our state constitution.

David Alvarez is the co-chair of the education finance subcommittee. He supports the governor's proposal and has expressed interest in having Prop 98 public school funds go to private preschools.

Call Alvarez and tell him to fully fund public schools. Private schools should not receive public funds.

🚨CALL TO ACTION 🚨

Call or Email Assemblymember David Alvarez

Assemblymember Alvarez currently chairs the Assembly Budget Subcommittee on Education Finance.

"Don't balance the budget on the backs of our students. FULLY FUND PROP 98."
