Office of California Governor Gavin Newsom

The first tribally-driven National Marine Sanctuary just took a major step toward official designation in California. The Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary would protect the environment and communities along 100+ miles of the Central Coast. #Conservation #California #ChumashSanctuary #OceanProtection #DesignateChumash

Allowing Big Oil to gouge Californians at the pump to pad their profits is not an option. California refineries choosing not to backfill their supply when they go offline causes prices to spike — both here in California, and in Arizona and Nevada. Our proposal will save consumers — including those in Arizona and Nevada — hundreds of millions of dollars every year by helping prevent these price spikes. It's time to act. #BigOil #California #GasPrices

The California State Coastal Conservancy Board is funding 22 more projects to restore and improve public access to the state’s coast and coastal watersheds. California keeps working to ensure our coastline is protected and accessible for decades to come. #California #Conservation #Environment #Climate

Last month, the California Council for Career Education published the “Community Input and Considerations for the California Master Plan for Career Education” document, a key milestone in implementing Governor Gavin Newsom’s executive order directing agencies to transform and strengthen California’s education and workforce pathways. Our team is proud to help facilitate the public-private partnership in coordination with leaders from the Governor's Office, including Elena Chavez Quezada and Michael Wiafe, MPP, which brings together funders, state leaders, and implementing partners on a monthly basis to discuss progress and collaborate on problem-solving. Funders who have provided critical support include the College Futures Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Fund, the Strada Education Foundation, and the Stuart Foundation. The “Community Input and Considerations for the California Master Plan for Career Education” document represents the culmination of a regional design process led by WestEd. WestEd’s process leveraged ten convenings to engage over 800 stakeholders in identifying the systemic barriers that prevent Californians from gaining new skills, translating skills to workforce opportunities, and accessing rewarding, living-wage work. We are excited to continue supporting this systems-change effort! ?
