The Legislature has just passed the budget. I am grateful that after months of advocacy, we secured $15 million for the Children's Holistic Immigration Representation Project (CHIRP), helping immigrant children who would otherwise be forced to represent themselves in court.
Text: “No child should have to represent themselves in legal court proceedings. That is why I joined immigration advocates in calling for $15 million in funding for the Children’s Holistic Immigration Representation Project (CHIRP), helping children navigate complex immigration proceedings while getting connected to housing, education, and trauma-informed care. Today’s vote on the Budget Act of 2026 does just that, demonstrating California’s commitment to a more just and equitable justice system.”

Four years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade — and the impact has been devastating. Since 2022, 13 states have enacted abortion bans, and several others have imposed strict gestational limits on care. Millions of people have lost access to reproductive healthcare.
