Propositions 2024

Prop 5 reduces the voter threshold for passing local bonds for housing and infrastructure projects from ⅔ to 55% to give voters more power to address local housing and public infrastructure needs.

Prop 36 cuts safety programs and increases prison spending. Prop 36 bills itself as a solution to retail theft and fentanyl but it’s not. Californians want a balanced approach to public safety, not a one-size-fits-all imprisonment.

Prop 2 will authorize the state of California to borrow $10 billion to fund renovations and construction of aging facilities at K-12 and Community Colleges. This a vital step toward securing a stronger future for our students.

Prop 3 enshrines marriage equality in the California constitution and removes outdated, discriminatory language from Prop 8, a 2008 ballot initiative that banned same-sex marriage.

Prop 4 is a $10 billion bond to fund climate resilience projects, including wildfire and flood prevention, safe drinking water, and reducing air pollution — and prioritizes communities most in need.

Prop 6 would ban involuntary servitude, being forced to work for pennies on the dollar, as punishment for a crime by ending mandatory work requirements for incarcerated Californians.

Prop 32 will raise the state minimum wage to $18 per hour by 2025, with small business following in 2026, another step to ensuring a livable wage for all California workers.

Prop 33 repeals state limitations on rent control, allowing local governments to enact stronger rent control laws that protect renters and combat rising homelessness.

Prop 34 is a political attack by corporate landlords and billionaires against the AIDS Healthcare Foundation for their support of rent control.

Prop 35 taxes some health insurance companies, such as Anthem Blue Cross or L.A. Care, also known as Managed Care Organizations. The tax would be used towards administrative costs of the Medi-Cal program.
