211 connects millions of Californians each year to housing, food, child care, and other resources. State and local government relies on 211 to support communities through crisis, but California doesn't provide ongoing funding for 211. Speak up for state funding: go.unitedwaysca.org/fund-211

In 2025, 211s received 1.8 million calls and texts, including over 41,000 during the LA fires. CA legislators, please support AB 1832 (Ransom) and the $20 million one-time budget request to help 211s continue providing free, critically needed services to our communities! #211

A significant milestone for a bill is to make it out of its house of origin—and AB 1832 just cleared it. AB 1832, the 211 Infrastructure and Emergency Response Act by Assemblymember Ransom, passed the Assembly Floor vote and now moves to the Senate!
