When we last connected, the state legislative season was just beginning. Now, we are past the halfway point, with an FY 26-27 State Budget finalized and many of our priority and ally bills still alive – an incredible feat considering the sheer number of bills and budget items we endorsed this year.
So much has happened since our last newsletter. Our communities–local, national, and abroad–have been bombarded with ongoing disruption and struggle.
