Newsom to veto AB 715*, a bill to silence criticism of Israel and shut out Palestinian voices. Call Newsom (916) 445-2841 and send him a message at: https://win.newmode.net/caircalifornia/newsomveto AB 715 claims to fight antisemitism, but it will actually censor classrooms and silence voices. By tying enforcement to a politicized definition of antisemitism, it conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism, erases Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, Jewish, and other marginalized voices, and pressures teachers to self-censor. Despite unanimous opposition from California?s major education organizations and warnings from educators, parents, and students across the state, the CA legislature disturbingly passed AB 715 on 9/12 and it now is up to the Governor to stop it. *2. Tell Sacramento City Council to adopt a Socially Responsible Investment Policy.* ReInvest Sacramento is working with Councilmembers on a policy that supports life-affirming investments that remain in line with the city?s need to meet its fiduciary responsibilities. This includes setting standards for divestment from corporations knowingly causing severe and widespread harm: the fossil fuels, weapons, and tobacco industries, as well as corporations complicit in or profiting from labor exploitation, prison labor and mass incarceration, immigration detention, and severe human rights violations such as apartheid and genocide.

Tell CA Teachers retirement fund, CalSTRS *to end divestments supporting genocide and meeting with CalSTRS Divest. *4.
