CARA: Visiting Our State Legislators with Our Message
CARA (California Alliance for Retired Americans) visited the offices of three legislators on Friday, June 8 and talked to state assembly member David Chiu, state senator Scott Wiener, and Phil Ting's staff member Alex Walker to advocate for seniors and people with disabilities. We spoke in favor of SB 562 (getting it out for a hearing!), AB 3200 (raising SSI grants so that people receiving them will be up to the poverty level!!), and AB 2343 before it was gutted (giving tenants a few days longer to respond to eviction notices before they join the homeless on our streets). We learned about some newly-proposed bills too--good ones!
