Measure G: Maintaining our Gateway out of Poverty
We support Measure G because it is an investment in our county community colleges, which are an important anti-poverty program
Items we support – and oppose – on the November 2024 ballot
The Multi-Faith ACTION Coalition addresses poverty’s root causes through public policy change. We inform and engage more than 50 faith communities by carefully reviewing ballot initiatives and making informed recommendations. These recommendations guide voters toward choices that align with our core values of belonging, justice, equity, interconnectedness, collaboration, and pluralism.
The Multi-Faith ACTION Coalition actively supports or opposes ballot items based on the recommendations of our Task Forces, who follow specific issues in their particular areas of interest.
We oppose Prop 36 (2024) – It’s just poor public policy
We oppose Prop 36 because harsh sentences are poor public policy. We prefer programs that reduce recidivism and support reintegration into society.
We support Prop 32 (2024) – Better wages are essential to reducing poverty
We support Prop 32 (2024) because the working poor deserve fairness and the means to live lives of basic human dignity.
We support Prop 6 (2024) – It’s time to end penal slavery in California
We support Prop 6 (2024) because slavery should not exist, in any form, in California in our time.
We support Prop 33 (2024) – Local government should decide on rent policies
We support Prop 33 (2024) – Local government should be in full control of rent policies
We support Prop 5 (2024) – A majority should be able to decide
We support Prop 5 (2024) because a majority in any community should be able to decide to issue bonds to build critical things like affordable housing
Our vote is a kind of prayer…
A vote is a kind of prayer for the kind of world we desire for ourselves and for our children.
