As a climate focused organization, we have been working to promote San Diego County Measure G, also known as Let’s Go! San Diego. We are also endorsing California State Proposition 4 -the Climate Bond. But in this post, I want to focus more on our non-climate endorsements.
First of all- why endorse more than the climate related measures? While our main focus as an organization is fighting climate change, those values do not exist in a vacuum. Our work is rooted in fighting injustice. And while we may stay focused on climate change the majority of the time, it is important for us to promote and incorporate fighting other struggles wherever possible.
CA State Prop 6 helps to close a loophole that allows for slavery in California.
CA State Prop 3 would protect marriage equality in the state of California.
CA State Prop 5 would make it much easier for local governments to fund affordable housing measures and public infrastructure.
CA State Prop 32 effectively raises the state minimum wage by an extra dollar from current legislation.
