The California Poor People’s Campaign is organizing statewide to demand that our Senator’s Padilla and Schiff hear the voices of their constituents who are bearing the brunt of Public Law 119-21, the Big Brutal Budget that took effect on 10/1/2025. Three components, building power through telling our stories and survival projects will lead to meetings with both California senators with our observations and demands.
