Generative AI will not solve Homelessness
Governor Newsom just announced a plan to “harness the power of GenAI to address homelessness”. This plan goes beyond being a waste of time and money, and is actively harmful to California and its residents. Generative AI is a dead-end technology that produces unreliable information at enormous ener
support Senate Bills 961 and 1509
I am writing to urge you to stand up to the auto industry and support Senate Bills 961 and 1509, which are currently on your desk for signature. As a concerned father and advocate for safer streets, I am deeply invested in ensuring the well-being of our community, particularly when it comes to prote
Support AB 2602 to protect performers' rights from AI
This bill provides crucial protections for performers by requiring consent for the creation of digital replicas using AI technology. Regulating AI usage now for performers can only lead to beneficial protections for non-performers as well. AB 2602 prevents unauthorized exploitation, safeguards livel
End donor and legacy preferences in higher education
I’m writing to ask you to support AB 1780, which ends legacy preferences in university admissions. Legacy and donor preferences, which are especially common in private schools, harm the state’s goal of ensuring that its higher education system is equally accessible to all residents. This is especial
Hydrogen fuel must be made more affordable and reliable
What are you doing about the price of hydrogen??? It’s been a steady $36/kg for almost a year now. Steady is good - but $200 to fill the tank is ridiculous. Right now, my daughter drives the hydrogen car because I drive too much to afford the fuel. She graduates this December. Depending on wha
THE NEW CJPA IS A FAILURE OF IMAGINATION
It’s extremely disappointing to see the California Journalism Preservation Act gutted in favor of Google. Not just the outcome, but the way journalists who advocated and helped create this bill were cut out from the backroom deal. I believed you to be someone in favor of a real democratic process, n
Sign SB 674
As a California resident, I urge you to enact SB 674 in order to end a longstanding injustice and give California’s frontline communities living near refineries the vital information and basic protections they need to protect their health and safety. As California advances towards our goal to tra
Hydrogen fuel infrastructure is a mess
I am so angry. A year ago we bought a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle thinking it would be better for the environment. And I didn’t want to add another electric car to our already overtaxed grid. When we purchased the car, fuel was $18/kg. Within a month, fuel had doubled to its current rate of $36/k
The fact that you think the correct solution to your constituents living on the streets in our state is to steal their belongings and throw them out tells me you're a heartless monster. That you will hire a professional photographer to take photo ops of you picking up some of what your thugs left be
Newsom's callous political stunt against unhoused Californians
I am appalled by Governor Newsom's political stunt of imposing a statewide crackdown on homeless Californians. Recent comprehensive nationwide research shows that a majority of homeless people, including in California, become unhoused in the communities they were already living in. We know that ther
Protect Our Homeless Neighbors
As a lifelong Democrat, I am deeply disappointed and offended by Governor Newsom’s recent threat to cut funding to cities that do not perform homeless sweeps. Homeless sweeps are cruel, violent, harm unhoused people, and frequently worsen their situations by destroying their possessions and documen
I just heard a story on NPR about Americans spending more for residential rooftop solar than any other country because of price gouging by solar companies. The climate crisis is now! We don’t have time to gamble with our future. Please request that the Attorney General investigate these claims and e
