Partnerships That Save Lives

We played a strategic role in convening former California Senate President Darrell Steinberg, Assembly Speaker John A. Perez, Governor Jerry Brown, and consultants and prominent labor leaders in AFSCME’s office to work out the framework for Proposition 30, which helped guide California back to fiscal solvency following the Great Recession.
