The California Science and Health Research Bond Act (SB 895) will create the California Foundation for Science and Health Research to ensure that life-saving and economically-vital scientific, medical, and environmental research continues in the state, even if the Trump Administration cuts or withholds federal funds.

It authorizes California to step in and fund the most vital research Trump seeks to cut, protecting California’s role as a global leader in innovation, an investment that will help generate billions of dollars in tax revenue, create high-wage jobs, and provide hope and healing to millions of Californians confronting deadly and debilitating diseases. Once we gain the support of the legislature and Governor Newsom, this measure will appear on the November ballot.

That's where this letter campaign comes in. Speaker Robert Rivas needs to hear directly from Californians that this bill matters to you. Whether you're a patient, a researcher, a family member who has watched a loved one battle a devastating disease, or simply someone who believes in science — your voice carries real weight. Every letter sent is a vote for California's future as a place where science saves lives.

Tell the Speaker – It’s Time to Stand Up to Trump by Protecting California Science
