Billionaires get richer. Workers get replaced by algorithms.
The economic disruption is here. And California is taking action today.
We have to build a future that protects workers, supports small businesses, and ensures the new economy works for everyone, not just a handful of tech companies.
It’s time to rewrite the rules to make sure THE PEOPLE benefit.

NEW: Just launched billboards in 7 of the most restrictive anti-abortion states that explain how women can access care--no matter where they live.
To any woman seeking an abortion in these anti-freedom states: CA will defend your right to make decisions about your own health.
@GregAbbott_TX this will be launching in your state today.
@GovHolcomb the people of Indiana will be seeing these as they drive to work today.
THREAD: Some people (...meaning the @GOP and @NRA) like to point to horrific shootings like yesterday’s and say CA’s strict gun laws don’t work.
The reality is that is simply not true.
A quick review...
In 1993, CA had the 3rd highest rate of gun homicides in the country and the 16th highest rate of gun deaths overall.
Since then CA has become a national leader on gun safety.
The most recent CDC data shows:
- CA has the 7th lowest gun death rate in the nation
- CA’s gun-related death rates are 40% below national average.
- CA’s gun homicides among 15-24-year olds fell to the lowest rate since 1970.
VACCINE UPDATE: CA will be receiving 327k doses of the new Pfizer #COVID19 vaccine in mid December.
The Drafting Guidelines Workgroup & Community Advisory Committee have now finalized recommendations for who will receive these initial doses.
We have prioritized into 3 tiers:
Tier 1:
- Acute care, psychiatric and correctional facility hospitals
- Skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, and similar settings for older or medically vulnerable
- Paramedics, EMTs and others providing emergency medical services
- Dialysis centers
Tier 2:
- Intermediate care facilities
- Home healthcare & supportive services
- Community health workers
- Public health field staff
- Primary Care clinics, including
Rural Health Centers, correctional facility clinics and urgent care clinics
