2024 CA 提案描述與立場

2號提案:授權發行債券資助公立學校和社區大學設施

支持
這 100 億美元的債券將會用來支付加州公立學校建築物的維修和升級費用,由於缺乏資金,一些學校建築物因發霉腐爛、出現黴菌、漏水和陷入其他危險的困境。2 號提案將增加州政府向那些房產評估價值較低、有較多學習英語、低收入或寄養青少年學生人數的學區提供的資金份額。K-12 學校將可獲得 85 億美元,而另外 15 億美元將用於社區大學。

3 號提案:婚姻憲法權

支持
這項憲法修正案將刪除 2008 年選民通過的 8 號提案中過時的措辭,該提案將婚姻定性為一男一女之間的結合。

4 號提案:授權發行債券用於安全飲用水、野火預防、以及保護社區和自然土地免受氣候風險

支持
這100億美元的債券將會用來支付水務項目(提供安全飲用水、回收廢水、儲存地下水、控制洪水)、防護野火及海平面上升、創建公園、保護野生動物和棲息地、以及應對極端高溫事件。

5 號提案:允許在獲得 55% 選民批准的情況下為可負擔住房和公共基礎設施發行地方債券

支持
這將使地方司法管轄區為資助可負擔住房和公共基礎設施項目而發行債券或徵收特別稅的票數要求,從三分之二(66.67%)絕大多數票降低到55%。5 號提案是解決本州住房危機的一項重要改革。它將賦予選民更多的權力,為資助可負擔住房和公共基礎設施(如供水系統、道路和醫院)籌集資金,而這兩個領域亦是本州落後和失敗的地方。 5 號提案將使我們更容易建造我們需要的可負擔住房,並為我們的社區作出早應進行的改善。

6 號提案:取消允許被監禁者非自願奴役的憲法條款

支持
這項憲法修正案將結束契約奴役作為對州立監獄犯罪的一種懲罰。6 號提案採取強而有力的行動,反對深深根植於我們刑事司法系統中、種族壓迫遺留下來的問題。這有助於被監禁者的康復,並促使加州走向更公義和公平的社會。

32 號提案:提高最低工資

支持
這將使加州所有僱員的州最低工資從每小時 15 美元提高至每小時 18 美元。

33 號提案:擴大地方政府對住宅物業實施租金管制的權力

支持
這將廢除科斯塔-霍金斯 (Costa-Hawkins) 住房租賃法案(1995),該法案防止地方政府對獨立住宅和較新的出租物業實施有效的租金管制措施。這項過時的法例使許多租客受到房東和物業公司掠奪性和不可預測、且往往難以負擔的租金上漲。

34 號提案:限制某些醫療保健提供者使用處方藥的收入

反對
這提案獲得加州公寓協會支持、對愛滋病醫療基金會的攻擊,旨在阻止該組織資助未來的租金管制措施。

35 號提案:為醫藥卡 (Medi-Cal) 醫療保健服務提供永久資助

支持
這倡議由加州醫療保健業贊助,旨在為 Medi-Cal 籌集更多資金。然而,這項措施可能會危及社區健康中心和值得信賴服務提供者的資金,頗多 Medi-Cal 用戶使用社區健康中心和這些服務提供者的護理服務。

36 號提案:允許對某些毒品和盜竊犯罪提出重罪指控並加重刑罰

反對
這倡議將取消目前專注於康復和預防犯罪的政策。提案將進一步把毒癮和貧窮定為犯罪,增加大規模監禁,並減少教育、心理健康、和預防無家可歸的資金。這提案主要把焦點放在對持有毒品的新和嚴厲的處罰。我們需要關注驅使人們犯罪或吸毒的健康和經濟挑戰,而不是投資大規模監禁。在當前的環境下,我們的社區感到不安全;而 36 號提案是一個虛假的承諾。 這提案對公共安全來說是一種代價高昂、有害且無效的倒退。

Paid for by Force for Change Ballot Measure sponsored by Center for Empowered Politics

NOV 2024 STATEWIDE BALLOT ENDORSEMENTS

YES on Prop 2

Authorizes Bonds for Public School and Community College Facilities
This $10 billion bond would pay for repairs and upgrades at CA public school buildings, some of which have languished with rot, mold, leaks, and other hazards due to lack of funds. K-12 schools would receive $8.5 billion and $1.5 billion would go to community colleges.

YES on Prop 3

Constitutional Right to Marriage
This constitutional amendment would enshrine the right to same-sex marriage into the California constitution, repealing Proposition 8 — a measure that defined marriage as between a man and a woman.

YES on Prop 4

Authorizes Bonds for Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, and Protecting Communities and Natural Lands from Climate Risks
This $10 billion bond would pay for water projects (to provide safe drinking water, recycle wastewater, store groundwater, control floods), wildfire protection, protection from sea level rise, create parks, protect wildlife and habitats, and address extreme heat events.

YES on Prop 5

Allows Local Bonds for Affordable Housing and Public Infrastructure with 55% Voter Approval
This would make it easier for local governments to fund affordable housing, infrastructure projects. Most local governments in CA need two-thirds of voter approval to borrow money for projects. This prop would lower the required threshold to 55% for any borrowing to fund affordable housing construction and infrastructure projects.

YES on Prop 6

Eliminates Constitutional Provision Allowing Involuntary Servitude for Incarcerated Persons
This constitutional amendment would end involuntary servitude in state prisons, one of the last remnants of slavery.

YES on Prop 32

Raises Minimum Wage
This would increase the state minimum wage to $18/hr from $15/hr for all employees in California.

YES on Prop 33

Expands Local Governments’ Authority to Enact Rent Control on Residential Property
This would repeal the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act (1995) which prevents cities and counties from limiting rents in many properties in California.

NO on Prop 34

Restricts Spending of Prescription Drug Revenues by Certain Health Care Providers
This is a California Apartment Association-backed attack on AIDS Healthcare Foundation, meant to prevent the organization from funding rent control measures in the future.

YES on Prop 35

Provides Permanent Funding for Medi-Cal Health Care Services
This initiative is sponsored by California’s health care industry to raise more money for Medi-Cal and block lawmakers from using the cash to avoid cuts to other programs.

NO on Prop 36

Allows Felony Charges and Increases Sentences for Certain Drug and Theft Crimes
This initiative would undo Prop 47, which voters decided in 2014 to reclassify nonviolent felonies to misdemeanors and redirect funds toward schools, treatment programs, and victim services. This measure would further criminalize addiction and poverty, increase mass incarceration, and reduce funding for education, mental health, and homelessness prevention.
