(Sacramento, CA) - Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia (D-Coachella) and a bipartisan coalition of legislators submitted a letter to the Assembly Committee on the Budget requesting a $25 million investment into workforce development programs, as established in AB 1111 (E. Garcia, 2017), Breaking Barriers to Employment.
(SACRAMENTO, CA) — Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia (D-Coachella) welcomed eleven Imperial County high school students to the California Capitol and proudly presented them during this afternoon’s assembly session. These youth are currently participating in Comité Cívico del Valle’s Youth Environmental Health Internship.
During a recent interview, Garcia said the problem of sexual harassment exists in many settings, including inside the Capitol.
Most recently, Garcia and his colleagues have been attempting to increase protections available to farm workers.
“We have been reviewing the laws that exist to protect farm workers. Before the #MeToo Movement, led by women at the national level, thousands and thousands of farm workers have suffered this problem,” he said.
These programs had previously been funded by GGRF but had not been included or were not fully funded in the current proposal.
(SACRAMENTO, CA) — Assemblymember Eduardo Garcia (D-Coachella), Chair of the Joint Legislative Committee on Climate Change Policies and about a dozen other California legislators submitted a letter requesting that critical natural resources programs receive funding in this year’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) budget allocations.
