Polluting projects like data centers will be easier to build and cost taxpayers up to $100 million per year. EJ communities joined the NO campaign because California cannot weaken environmental protections while Trump is attacking them. 🚫 Vote NO on Prop 45 to protect public health from pollution.

California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) @ceja.org · 24/09/2026
Limiting 90% of budget spending for federally qualified partners to direct patient care sounds good but community health centers say it could force cuts to their outreach and prevention work for their vulnerable patients. 🚫 Vote NO on Prop 44 to allow community clinics to manage their own budgets!

California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) @ceja.org · 23/09/2026
Raises threshold for local citizen-initiated special taxes from a simple majority to two-thirds vote. It effectively ends revenue generation for cities and counties to improve parks, libraries and homeless services. 🚫 Vote NO on Prop 43 to allow raising special taxes with simple majority of voters!

California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) @ceja.org · 22/09/2026
This proposition maintains the status quo of taxings stocks, bonds and business profits at the time of sale instead of taxing their current. So, if a billionaire never sells their assets then they are never taxed on their true wealth. 🚫 Vote NO on Prop 42 to allow taxes on true wealth!
011
California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) @ceja.org · 22/09/2026
Public program taxes would get included in limitations that previously only applied to income, corporate and sales tax revenue. Funds raised for public programs and government services will be further constrained. 🚫 Vote NO on Prop 41 to allow public program and service taxes to be collected!

California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) @ceja.org · 21/09/2026
Roughly 200 billionaires in California would be taxed on their wealth one-time to primarily fund state healthcare. Low-income California communities have seen healthcare funding impacted by cuts from Trump’s federal government. ✅ Vote YES on Prop 40 to fund medical care for low-income communities!
010
California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) @ceja.org · 18/09/2026
Many Californians, especially immigrant, low-income, and formerly incarcerated community members experience barriers to secure government-issued ID that Prop 39 would require to vote? Voter fraud is not a real issue but this ballot measure is. 🚫 Vote NO on Prop 39 to prevent voter suppression!

California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) @ceja.org · 18/09/2026
This bond supports $8.4 billion for immunology research and requires public sale at 20% below market price. This directly benefits communities impacted by high rates of cancer, which are often communities near pollution sources. ✅ Vote YES on Prop 38 to invest in immunology research!

California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) @ceja.org · 18/09/2026
These low interest state loans support borrowers who have barriers to homeownership. It assists people whose income is less than 2x of the area median income which is $102,797 in California for a family of 2 but ranges significantly by county ✅ Vote YES on Prop 37 to support funding home ownership!
001
California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) @ceja.org · 17/09/2026
This amendment separates the recall of an elected official from the replacement of that official into two elections. This applies to Assembly & Senate legislators as well as statewide offices. ✅ Vote YES on Prop 5 so recall elections are clearer to voters!
011
California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) @ceja.org · 17/09/2026
Prop 4 reverses California's ban on public campaign financing that prohibits State and Counties from establishing systems. It would allow candidates to focus their time on appealing to voters and not raising corporate money to get elected. ✅ Vote YES on Prop 4 to allow public campaign financing!
011
California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) @ceja.org · 16/09/2026
Prop 3 makes the 2012 (and renewed in 2016) income tax on high earners permanent and applies to the top 2% wealthiest Californians. It generates an estimated $5–$15 billion per year for K-12 schools and community colleges. ✅ Vote YES on Prop 3 to protect school and community college funding!

California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) @ceja.org · 16/09/2026
This proposition expands the rainy day fund for state officials managing the budget during economic uncertainty so that budgetary downturns don’t impact public programs like education, food assistance programs and healthcare. ✅ Vote YES on Prop 2 to expand California’s rainy day fund!
000
California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) @ceja.org · 16/09/2026
Prop 1 Allows for $11.25 billion in bonds to finance affordable housing ownership and construction. It builds on successful state programs like the Multifamily Housing, and Farmworker Housing Grant Programs. ✅ Vote YES on Prop 1 to support the construction and affordable home ownership!

California is facing an affordability crisis while utilities post major profits, says Travis Gibrael of Reclaim Our Power at the Affordable Energy Campaign event outside PG&E headquarters. It’s time to reform our “structurally fundamentally unsustainable and unjust” system.

Starneisia Hooper, a TURN and Ratepayers United member, joined the Affordable Energy Campaign in Oakland to call out rising utility costs that are forcing people into unsafe and difficult strategies to conserve energy. People are already cutting back wherever possible, but bills keep rising anyway.

California Environmental Justice Alliance (CEJA) @ceja.org · 01/06/2026
Oakland resident & ACCE member Shekinah Samaya-Thomas joined the Affordable Energy Campaign in Oakland because her family is doing everything to conserve energy. Even after cutting back energy use, costs continue to rise.

Big Oil's new playbook, per investigation of 1,800+ ads: ❌ Old: "We're partners in the energy transition." ✅ New: "Fossil fuels are a fact of life. Wind and solar have too many downsides." Researcher: "They hire the best PR agencies in the world to dupe you." Know the tactics. Don't fall for it. 🧠

Big Oil has moved on from 'greenwashing.' Here's the new playbook.
Over a few years, oil giants went from trumpeting their climate pledges to saying fossil fuels are here to stay.

U.S. Gas prices are up 52%+ since the Iran war began. California is averaging $6.15/gallon — the highest in the nation. Every dollar at the pump going to Big Oil windfall profits is a dollar stolen from our future. Accelerating the clean energy transition is the only way forward.
calmatters.org
Opinion | The solution to high gas prices is using less oil, not delaying California’s climate programs
Climate programs cause smaller costs in California's gas prices, but the limited supply routes and a highly concentrated refining market cause bigger price boosts.
