California is one of the richest places on Earth. Our hard work and know-how make us the fourth-largest economy in the world. Every year, workers in California create $4.1 trillion in wealth. We have the resources, the knowledge, and the technology to provide a dignified life for everyone who calls California home.
We can end poverty, homelessness, racist and sexist discrimination. We can fully fund public schools and make our education system the best in the country. We can build world-class transit networks. We can provide universal healthcare so that everyone is able to visit the doctor without going into debt. We can make sure that nobody in California ever goes hungry, unhoused, or untreated ever again.
The result of this capitalist experiment has been a disaster. 194 billionaires in California own more than $1.2 trillion of wealth, while almost 8 million of us live in poverty. Our schools rank near the bottom of the nation — 37th out of 50 states. Homelessness is rising while luxury towers sit empty. Our tax dollars are spent on corporate handouts instead of housing, education, and healthcare.
California’s 194 billionaires hoard more wealth than 27 million of us. That’s not an accident—it’s a rigged system. We make California rich, but can’t afford rent, medicine, or decent schools for our kids because billionaires extract the wealth we create.
Everything we need is already here.
