Message from the Chair

Democrats,

 

Over the last four weeks, we took a giant step towards a brighter future.  The inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris restored new hope within our nation. From Biden’s introduction of a $1.9 trillion relief package to change the course of the pandemic, to rebuilding a country that celebrates its diversity – democracy has truly prevailed.

 

In the Golden State, California Democrats are working tirelessly to rebuild together. This month, Gov. Gavin Newsom revealed a $227 billion spending plan which provides funding for immediate COVID-19 response and relief efforts. The proposal will make investments towards a more equitable and inclusive economic recovery plan.

 

As Democrats strive to form a more perfect and purposeful union, I know that there is much more work to be done. We’ve made great progress despite a global pandemic. We’ve held true to the values of our democratic process. And Democrats have proven time and time again the power of our collective voices.

 

As Chair of the California Democratic Party, I am proud to stand in solidarity with you.

 

In unity,

 

Rusty Hicks

The Biden-Harris Administration Combats the Challenges Facing America

 

President Joe Biden has wasted no time in combating the challenges facing America.  Joe Biden immediately announced his emergency legislative plan to tackle the coronavirus and reboot our economy: The American Rescue Plan. The plan is a $1.9 trillion relief package designed to change the course of the pandemic, rebuild a bridge toward economic recovery and cut child poverty in half.

 

The American Rescue Plan would provide relief for American families and businesses, which includes:

  • A national vaccination program to contain COVID-19
  • Direct $1,400 payments to families
  • Raising the minimum wage to $15
  • Access to affordable child care
  • Emergency funding for small businesses

 

As we recover from the pandemic and rebuild together, we need your support to fight for the American people. Will you commit to joining the California Democrats to help our nation recover?

California Democratic Leaders Fight to Protect California Renters

 

Governor Gavin Newsom and California Democrats are working to protect California renters and small landlords who are facing COVID-19 financial hardship. That’s why this week, they introduced a proposal to extend the nation’s strongest COVID-19 tenant eviction protections until June 30, 2021. The extended proposal protects tenants who have paid 25% of their rent since September 2020.

 

The proposal will:

  •   Provide $2.6 billion in federal relief to help Californians pay off unpaid rental debt
  •   Prioritize households with the highest need
  •   Pay 80% of any missing rent to landlords accrued between April 2020 and March 2021, as long as they agree to forgive the remaining 20%

 

As we recover from the pandemic together, we need your support to continue fighting for the American people. Will you commit to joining the California Democrats to help our nation recover?
