We are proud to join in the launch of #EconomicMobilityforAll, a new statewide campaign dedicated to expanding access to professional licensing and entrepreneurship opportunities for all Californians regardless of their backgrounds, immigration status, or English language proficiency. Despite successful advocacy in past years to expand access to professional licensing and entrepreneurship opportunities, more work must be done to ensure that language access, restrictions on accumulating professional experience, and other barriers do not prevent immigrants from realizing their professional dreams. Every individual should have the opportunity to support themselves and their loved ones on their own terms. Learn more and join us at: bit.ly/joinem4a #EM4A

DACA recipients are driving economic growth and strengthening communities! 🛠️📊 With collective earnings of nearly $27.9 billion, they contribute billions in taxes that support Social Security and Medicare. Key findings show 91% employment rates, rising wages, and billions in annual state and local tax contributions. Codifying DACA into law would boost revenues by $815 million, while repealing it would cost nearly $700 million. Supporting DACA means supporting economic progress for all.
