Sign on to EDGE's State Budget Advocacy Letter
California’s economic future depends on ensuring that all students, adult learners, opportunity youth, and workers—especially those from underserved communities—have access to high-quality education, workforce development, and social safety net programs.
In response to the Governor’s 2025-2026 state budget proposal, we must urge state leaders to protect critical funding and strengthen investments in essential programs that build and sustain economic mobility and quality job opportunities for all.
Sign on to our budget letter linked here by Thursday, March 27th.
