Quote from the Campaign for California’s Borrowers' Rights: “We're incredibly disappointed to see that the final budget did not fund the Student Loan Empowerment Network, (SLEN) a program that has a proven track record of putting real dollars back into the pockets of hard working families and providing trusted experts to help when borrowers have nowhere else to turn.” “These supportive services are needed now more than ever as various federal repayment programs and options are being eliminated.” Logo for the Campaign for California’s Borrowers' Rights.

NextGen California Logo. NextGen responds. “We are particularly excited about investments in the immigration, veteran, and workforce spaces, including a one-time increase of $100 million towards immigration defense services, $7 million to the Veterans Support to Self-Reliance (VSSR) pilot program, and $5 million for the Jails to Jobs pilot program at the California Workforce Development Board. Each of these programs provide much-needed benefits and support to vulnerable Californians.” Arnold Sowell Jr., Executive Director.

Climate Solutions policy area. Quote from Chloe Ames, Policy Advisor: “We are disappointed with the California Air Resources Board’s decision on Friday to capitulate to the oil industry’s lobbyists and push through a suboptimal rulemaking that may undermine our state’s ability to reach our 2030 climate goals and invest in community climate programs. This was a move to protect the fossil fuel industry, not California’s communities or our climate.” NextGen California logo.

Quote from Rico Valentino Marquez, Fire Camp Graduate: “Fire camp wasn’t just firefighting — it's skilled trades training, life development, and character building, delivered in one of the hardest physically demanding environments you can imagine. The discipline, crew coordination, tool proficiency, adherence to safety standards — that's the foundation of a career in the building trades.” NextGen California Logo.
