There are 15 states with a blue trifecta (a democratic governor and state legislature) — California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Washington. That is nine more trifectas than we had in 2017. These 15 states represent nearly half of the national gross domestic product and have an outsized level of cultural and economic power. What is our state doing to leverage that power to stop MAGA’s abuses and harms?

California has to lead this fight. California is the fifth largest economy in the world with a double Democratic supermajority in its state legislature and Democrats in every Statewide offices. Unfortunately, California state legislators (Democrats included!) are often more responsive to special interest lobbies than the will of their own constituents. We need California State leaders to stand up for its people.

• passing legislation to protect us, our neighbors, and red staters seeking safety

• pushing back against MAGA efforts to target our neighbors 

• working with other States to create alliances and compacts 

• using our economic leverage to advance our values 

• protecting labor, civil rights, and environmental standards 

• using the full power of their office, at every level, to block and delay the MAGA agenda

• responding when Trump and Musk escalate their campaign of terror

Indivisible CA: StateStrong is a coalition of grassroots Indivisible groups across the state, which aim to empower California constituents to make their voices heard in Sacramento. Our ultimate goal is to pass progressive policy in California to lay the groundwork for change that can spread to other states and eventually the whole country!

Every year CASS members pick our priority bills to work on.
