Please add your name now to urge immediate protections for western monarch butterflies under the U.S. Endangered Species Act.
Tell Governor Newsom to oppose park funding cuts!
Governor Newsom’s proposed budget for July 2025 shifts $68 million from the General Fund to Proposition 4 to cover wildfire prevention and forest resilience work in state parks — projects that were already promised funding. This move threatens climate resilience by replacing, not adding to, existing support, going against what voters intended when they passed Prop 4.
The proposal also swaps $14 million in previously committed state funds for Prop 4 bond money meant for new deferred maintenance projects — reducing the total resources available to tackle the $1.2 billion backlog. Californians must speak up before the revised budget in May: Prop 4 funds should grow park funding, not replace it.
