California’s future depends on leaving no learners or communities behind. When more Californians—especially working learners—can access & complete education beyond high school, & that education leads to real opportunity, individuals move forward, families gain stability, & communities grow stronger.

I know, for some, those words have become bad words, but you are the epitome of why equity, diversity and inclusion are an economic imperative, not a woke conversation.”
