Gov. Newsom & the Legislature have finalized the state budget for Fiscal Year 2025-26. The new budget will cut access to Medi-Cal for immigrants w/ an enrollment freeze & new monthly premiums. We are disappointed in the decision to make our immigrant communities more vulnerable.

"Over the past decade, state leaders' investments in refundable tax credits have helped support Californians with low incomes," says @alissa_brie. To build on this progress, we must continue to expand these credits so every Californian has the resources to thrive. #CalEITC

We want to thank the California Legislature for supporting this valuable work in the #CABudget and, in particular, ITIN outreach
Thank you, #CALeg for restoring $2M in #FreeTaxPrepPays in the #CABudget- $12M total! CalEITC Outreach & Education provides vital access to tax credits for low income families, directing resources to Californians who are struggling to afford soaring costs for everyday basics!

#CalEITC Coalition calls on #CALeg and @GavinNewsom to maintain $20M annually in #FreeTaxPrepPays to help struggling families afford the soaring costs of everyday basic necessities like food, rent, utilities, and child care!

The #CalEITC and #YCTC sent more than $1.3B in cash payments to nearly 3.5M households in 2023, helping to free families from stress over making the rent or buying medicine and ensure that fewer children go to bed hungry. This is in part due to investments in #FreeTaxPrepPays!

✨Our own Sam Wilkinson says it best! This #CABudget needs to protect anti-poverty tax credits & programs so our families can thrive. #CalEITC #YCTC #CALeg @CAGovernor @ilike_mike @CASpeakerRivas
💸💸Families rely on the extra cash they receive through anti-poverty tax credits like #CalEITC and #YCTC. We urge @CAGovernor and #CALeg to protect #FreeTaxPrepPays programs in the final #CABudget--to ensure families receive the support and outreach to claim their tax credits!

We must help low-income Californians take advantage of tax credits that can save them thousands of dollars!   That’s why I am authoring #AB2191 which would do just that, by increasing outreach about FREE tax filing services for low-income families.   Let’s get it done 👊🏽👊🏽

What can we do? We can expand the Child Tax Credits (CTC) and Earned Income Tax Credits (EITC)! In 2021, the CTC and EITC helped cut the child poverty rate in half from 9.7% in 2020 to 5.2% 2021. It is a proven poverty-fighting tool. Tell Congress to expand it now! Visit votervoice.net/UWW/Campaigns… to email Congress.
