The CA State Budget Coalition held a press conference to explain why a Cuts-Only budget strategy is not only economically reckless but morally distasteful. At 9am, the caravan left for the State Capitol. We were joined by people from all around northern California for a press conference inside the Capitol at 11:30 AM, and then we marched to the Governor's office. Four members of our group went into the governor's office to explain our position.
Although we did not change the minds of the governor's staff (not surprising), we did get lots of media coverage, which spread our message far and wide!
