Governor Newsom’s May budget package was accompanied with a suite of trailer bills that would circumvent long-standing water law, environmental protections, and public due process to advance one of California’s most controversial and costly infrastructure projects, and at the same time undercut water quality standards for the San Francisco Bay-Delta estuary, which are embodied in the Bay-Delta Plan. We need your presence and voice to help stop this dangerous initiative.
The Assembly Budget Subcommittee 4 on Climate Crisis, Resources, Energy and Transportation will meet tomorrow, May 20 at 9:30am in State Capitol Room 437. During the last meeting, committee members raised serious concerns about the Governor’s proposed trailer bill language targeting the Delta Tunnel and Bay-Delta Plan, which would fast-track the Delta Tunnel project while bypassing vital environmental protections and public processes, and undermining tribal sovereignty.
Now more than ever, it is crucial for anyone connected to the Bay-Delta estuary to speak out. The Governor is attempting to advance the Delta Tunnel under the guise of the budget process, ignoring legal requirements and disregarding public input. We must stand together to protect our ecosystems and communities.
Join us TOMORROW in person to make your voice heard:

- In-Person Location: State Capitol, 1315 10th St, Sacramento, CA 95814, Room 437, on the fourth floor. There are entrances on the South and North end.
