Sacramento is rapidly changing and we are in need of change agents to offer inspired new visions for politics. We know that for Sacramentans to win progressive policies this election season we need to shift the city council to more closely match the city's population AND we need to make sure that newly activated voters show up and vote their values at the polls. Sacramento ACCE is building out its electoral work by carrying out regular voter outreach programs with dedicated staff, motivated volunteer precinct captains and partners like Center for Popular Democracy. Our goal is to build a base of low-propensity voters who we can count on to show up at the polls, at city council, and at the capitol to fight for the policies their communities want and need.
ACCE Members are playing a critical role in fighting for stronger tenant protections throughout Sacramento. Through continuous organizing, we’re able to create change by facilitating opportunities for renters to share their stories with the press, come to organizing meetings, protest, lobby their legislators, and continue to get more tenants to join us to raise their voices and fight back.
ACCE Transit Chapter leaders have been fighting over the last few months to Protect our Successful Youth Ryde Free Transit Program in Sacramento. After the original proposal to completely cut the program from the city's budget, ACCE members and community leaders spoke out with dozens of public comments, hundreds of postcards & emails, press conferences & multiple news articles from varied outlets. The result was Mayor Steinberg's proposal of $250,000 from the City of Sacramento and Sacramento School Districts & SacRT paying the remaining $750,000.
Although we believe that the already underfunded Sacramento School Districts paying part of the bill is inequitable, the fight ahead will consist of demanding representation for school districts as well as keeping the program intact for future youth riders. This is a HUGE win for the Sacramento ACCE Transit Chapter and look forward to the next Transit Fight!
